WELCOME TO NEWSTEAD ATHLETICS
Newstead Athletics was established in 1933 in Launceston, making it the oldest club in the north and the second-oldest athletic club in Tasmania.
The club conducts its cross-country programme between April and September around the Launceston area and participates in the local track and field competition at the St Leonards track from October to March.
Coaching is available for all events, and potential athletes of all ages, regardless of experience and ability, are welcome to come along to training or competition.
CALENDAR
at a glance
TRACK AND FIELD
From October to March our club competes in the Northern Athletics Interclub competition, culminating with competition in the Tasmanian state titles in Feb/March.
SCHOOLS CROSS-COUNTRY PROGRAM
Newstead Athletics runs a very successful School Series Competition each year as part of our cross-country program. Students represent their school in a fun team-based running program.
CROSS-COUNTRY
A cross-country season is conducted during the winter months on Saturdays from 1pm (April to September) at venues in and around Launceston. We cater for all ages from 5 years to 100+ and are an inclusive club. Three distances are offered each week and all races are handicapped, providing everyone a chance of winning regardless of ability.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Newstead Athletics scholarships are available twice a year due to a generous bequest from Life Member Mr Allen Patrick Smith (aka ‘Paddy Smith”) who passed away in 2008 and the ongoing efforts of the current committee.
VISUAL IDENTITY
Newstead Athletics is presenting its new visual identity, which includes a new club crest, website, stationery, and uniform.
The memorable yellow and black combination now colours a sophisticated and contemporary design that represents our past, present, and future.
Competition top
The current uniform will be phased out in 2025; until then, athletes can compete wearing either the old or new uniform.
