We look forward to seeing you down at our local track based at Nga Puna Wai, Halswell for some athletic competition this summer!
To compete as a Masters athlete in Canterbury, you have TWO membership options:
Option 1: Join an Athletics New Zealand Club (e.g Old Boys' United, Papanui Toc H, New Brighton Olympic, Port Hills etc) as a Competitive Member. CLICK HERE to find out about clubs in Canterbury.
This option is most suitable for those who intend to compete in interclub events all year round in track & field, cross country & road events. These events are organised by Athletics Canterbury. CLICK HERE for more information. Some clubs also offer coaching and group social gatherings throughout the year.
NOTE: If you are a member of an Athletics New Zealand Club you DO NOT need to pay a registration fee to Canterbury Masters Athletics, but you can compete openly in both senior and Masters athletics events.
Option 2: Join Canterbury Masters Athletics, which is a Centre associated with New Zealand Masters Athletics Inc, as a Competitive Member.
This option is particularly suitable for those who only intend to compete in track & field events. All Competitive CMA members can compete at track & field events organised by Athletics Canterbury. These events are held at Nga Puna Wai Stadium, Augustine Drive, Halswell.
You can also join as a Social Member of Canterbury Masters if you are not interested in competing at interclub or Masters championship events.
