There is always a new event coming up that you need to know about so we've set up a year round calendar of events for you to easily navigate your way around.
From senior athletes to junior up and coming stars. You'll soon discover there's a lot more to our athletes than their skills on the field.
As young as WA Athletics is we have quickly amassed a comprehensive selection of events over these years.
Thanks to the generosity of some great photographers we've been able to document some of the great events that WA Athletics have been involved in over the years.

The opinions raged. Madness, they said. The papers, talkback lines, and water cooler conversations were as condescending as they have ever been.
How could the newly-built WA Athletics Stadium, a $38 million facility, have been build with such scant regard for Perth sports fans already impatient after John Langoulant’s scathing report on the selfishness of the major sporting codes refusal to work together towards a multi-purpose stadium?
