Team's events are a mixture of throws jumps and track relays providing something for everybody.
The individual events include the Moorilla 100m search for Tassie's Fastest Student, both male and female divisions will have the opportunity to take on the entire state. If successful athletes will be invited to compete at a host of events until finally determining who is Tassie's Fastest Student.
World Athletics Day is a free event for anybody and everybody 10 years and older no matter whether you are a past or present athlete or whether you have never competed before this is your event.
