Geelong Athletics was started in 1962 and has it's home at John Landy Field alongside the Barwon River in South Geelong. Geelong Athletics caters for Senior Athletes typically in the 14 - 70 age groups, from beginners right through to Olympians, including para athletes. Geelong Athletics splits its year into Summer and Winter seasons with athletes competing for one of the local Geelong Clubs: Bellarine, Athletics Chilwell, Corio, Deakin or Geelong Guild. Summer consists of a track and field competition based at John Landy Field from October through to March. An essential part of our ability to run sporting events at Landy Field is the need for Officials and helpers to run the events.
