The Australian Track and Field Championships determine Australia’s best athletes in more than 300 events. The event will also act as the nomination trial for athletes aiming for the World Athletics Championships in Oregon and the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. Athletics Australia has also released the dates for the highly anticipated 2022 Australian Summer of Athletics Tour.

Beginning in Melbourne with Zatopek:10 for the 10,000m Championships on January 26th, the Summer season will then travel to Sydney for the Australian Combined Event Championships, before a stop into Adelaide for the new Adelaide Invitational and the Australian 20km Race Walking Championships. The iconic Track Classic series will be a trio of World Athletics Continental Tour meets in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, with coveted world ranking points and prize money on offer as a priority for the domestic season in 2022.

Following the 2022 Australian Summer of Athletics, Athletics Australia will also host its annual Gala dinner on Sunday, 3 April presenting prestigious awards including Male and Female Athletes of the Year, as well as the Betty Cuthbert Award for the best single performance at the 2022 Australian Track and Field Championships. More information will be released in due course.

While dates for each event have been scheduled, the Season Calendar is subject to change and subject to National and State COVID-19 restrictions.
