Interclub competitions are held on Saturdays from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm at the Nga Puna Wai all-weather athletics stadium Augustine Drive, Hillmorton, Christchurch. These events offer junior athletes a fantastic opportunity to test their skills, gain valuable competition experience, and have a great time! Each week, registered athletes can compete in up to four events plus a relay, making Saturdays an exciting and action-packed morning.

We encourage all our junior athletes to get involved in Interclub competitions. Not only are they a fun and social experience, but they also provide an excellent chance to further develop athletic skills and confidence in a supportive environment.
