COVID-19 Update - May Events Postponed

Published Wed 08 Apr 2020

Athletics SA has continued to review event possibilities in the wake of COVID-19 restrictions that we are currently all enduring.  It appears the spread of the virus has been stunted by the various actions taken and there is no question that we must hold the course as a sport and extend our suspension of events by a further month at least. 

Previously we postponed and/or cancelled events until 1 May at the earliest.  We now extend that to 1 June at the earliest.  As a result of this decision, all Athletics SA events scheduled for May have been postponed until further notice. The three events that have been affected include the Flinders XC (9 May), Women's Run in the Park (17 May) and Ekiden Relay (24 May).  

To our members that have already purchased a Winter membership package and those that were intending to, we seek your patience and understanding while the future of live events is uncertain.  Our very clear desire is to reschedule these events when the current health risk diminishes, and government restrictions are lifted to enable us to run as many as is practical over the winter season.  

Athletics SA are continuing to provide alternate offerings for our members during these times, with some exciting announcements coming in the next few days to add to the Running SA Club on Strava that is already up and going.
