Get ready for one of the most electric days on the summer athletics calendar—the Trevelyan's Tauranga Twilight Track and Field Meet.
This year’s meet promises big energy, fast racing, and an awesome community atmosphere, with opportunities for everyone from first-timers to seasoned competitors.
The action kicks off at 10am with the Youth Meet, designed specifically for athletes 14 years and under. It’s the perfect warm-up for the Colgate Games the following week, giving young athletes a chance to hone their skills, gain confidence, and enjoy friendly competition. Place ribbons will be awarded in every event across all age groups—great encouragement for budding stars.
In the afternoon, the Senior Meet fires up with a full track and field program catering to U18, U20, Senior, and Masters athletes. Expect high performance alongside plenty of social runners and jumpers simply keen to give it a go. With prize money on the line for senior athletes and medals for all other age groups, there’s something for everyone. Best of all, you don’t need to belong to a club to take part—every event is open to anyone ready to step on the track.
We’re also thrilled to introduce a brand-new feature for 2026: the How Fast Can You Run 1km? Challenge. This fun, professionally timed event is open to absolutely everyone. Challenge your mates, work colleagues, or family members and see what you can do over two and a half laps. It’s the perfect chance to test your fitness or simply enjoy a unique one-off experience, before sitting back and watching the elite athletes take on 1km with the potential for record breaking performances.
And, of course, a massive thank you to our incredible sponsors—your support makes this event possible:
