24.01.2022 Hi Athletes Thanks to everyone who has got in touch with us about participating in Club Relay Day this Saturday. Athletics SA have made the following announcement about the event: After receiving feedback from some clubs, as well as the wider athletics community, we have decided to change the format of this weekend’s Club Relay Day. The reason’s for these changes are to assist engaging more club athletes by offering individual events and also to eliminate the cost and ‘pre-e...vent’ organisation required by clubs. The changes that were made are as follows: Removal of the 4x400m and Distance Medley Relay. Addition of 200m and 1500m to the start of the program (individual events athletes to register online: https://www.athleticssa.com.au/events/80990/) Remove requirement for club to pre-register teams (Teams to be registered in Function Room 1 hour before event start) Remove fees associated with relays. (Only fees charged will be for those registering for individual events) For the 2 relay events, there will still be age group splits (U14, U16, U18, Open, O35) with athletes allowed to compete up age groups to fill teams. The Swedish relay is still mixed with teams to be made up of 2 males and 2 females. Port Adelaide Athletics Club will press ahead with pre-selecting of teams for 2x100m and Mixed Swedish Medley. Hopefully runners who prefer checking the scenery by doing more than 1 lap will be catered for with the individual 1500m. For those happy with 400m or less we will try to put you in teams. I anticipate we can announce some teams by Thursday and as stated above we can also create teams on the day. Keep your nominations coming in for 2x100m or the Swedish Medley (100, 200, 300, 400m).

Your generous support will help children in need to acquire the skills and knowledge they need to build a better future and help them to create a sense of belonging this Christmas. During this pandemic, the childr...en and families we support remain at the heart of everything we do, and more than ever before, it’s so important that we help them end 2020 on a brighter note. With your help, we are aiming to support 32,550 Australian families with children living in disadvantage for the 2020 Toy & Book Appeal.

This is a new event on the Athletics SA calendar and it slots into the time of the season when State Relay Championships have been held in the past.

There is no Interclub this Saturday and the only individual non relays are some field events mentioned below.

The age groups will be the same as Interclub - U14, U16, U18, Open (incorporating U20) and O35 (incorporating O50). Athletes are eligible to compete up age groups. REGISTRATIONS: Club will be asked to register teams by midnight Thursday 12th.

04.01.2022 As you would all know Port Adelaide Athletics Club is sharing a birthday milestone with Port Adelaide Football Club. Both clubs formed in 1870 and we celebrate 150 years in 2020. Like our more famous neighbours we are also on a premiership quest this season. To honour 150 years of tradition, with Interclub premiership success, would be fitting. Go well Port Adelaide Football Club may we both be Premiers. Interclub 1 - Saturday October 17
