LAQ Race Walking Hit Out Sunday 2nd March, held prior to CEC. 7:30am start for 1500m, followed by the 1100m and 700m races.
U7 & U8’s U7 & U8 athletes will have the opportunity to participate in a training session from 8:00 am – 9:30 am on Saturday, 1st March. Stay tuned for more details on how to register for this session!


  • The Combined Event Championships is offered to U9 – U17’s. LA registered U13 – U17 athletes may request approval for participation.
  • The number of combined events per age group is a graduated increase to reduce undue pressure on younger athletes and encourage athlete’s development.  A strong emphasis is on the participation of children in a wider range of events, rather than the early specialisation in one or two specific events.
  • Additionally, the State Team Selectors will refer to the U15 Heptathlon results when selecting athletes for the State Team.
  • The Combined Event is considered one event; therefore, athletes failing to start or make a trial, in any of the set events of the Combined Event will not be allowed to take part in the remaining events per the LAQ Rules.
Note: LAQ registered athletes must wear the approved LAQ Centre uniform
Multi-Class Athlete Inclusion
LAQ registered and classified athletes have the opportunity to nominate in multi-class combined event. Classification is not a requirement for general participation in this competition.  All athletes are encouraged to participate and compete in mainstream opportunities where appropriate.  For more specific information regarding LAQ Multi-Class Athlete participation and rules please use this link.
