Canberra Athletics Classic - National Series Meet

Canberra, ACT

The Canberra Athletics Classic will bring together Australia's leading athletes for a feast of Athletics action over two days as they chase Olympic and Paralympic qualifying.

Australia Day, will see track and field stars in action at the AIS Athletics Field from 3pm. On the following day, the shores of Lake Burley Griffin will see our leading walkers compete in a 20km (10km for juniors) race walk around the lake's edge. Later that morning we return to the AIS Athletics Field for a seated throwing event and relay action as our 4 x 100m and 4 x 400m relay teams strive to improve their International rankings and assure themselves a place at the Beijing Olympics.

Canberra has earned a reputation as the fastest track in Australia over many years.  With a new track laid late 2007, this meet will once again enable athletes to post some of the fastest times this year in Australia.
