Registration

Registrations are open for the 2025-26 season which starts on Saturday 11 October 2025 .

Whether you want to compete, keep fit or have fun with friends, you are most welcome at Woden Thunder Athletics.

If you like to run, jump, throw or walk, be it on the track, in the field, on the road, up mountains or across country, then come and experience the Thunder!

Membership is available to all ages from 5 to 99.

Membership Types

At Woden Thunder Athletics we offer four different membership options which are set out below:

Little Athletics – this program is for children aged 5 to 12. The focus of Little Athletics is on participation and learning the fundamental movements of running, jumping, throwing, walking and rolling. There is an event for everyone, and athletes have the chance to try them all out. Everyone is welcome to join, no matter their ability. Athletes stay with their age group for the course of the program and are supervised by their age-group manager who keeps the group together and takes athletes around the field to their events for the day. For Little Athletics register here.

Senior Athletics – this is for athletes aged 13 or over including Masters age athletes. Woden Thunder athletes have the option of competing at our regular Club meets on Saturday mornings and/or competing in the weekly Capital Athletics meets on Saturday afternoons. Your registration with Woden Thunder Athletics automatically gives you access to these competititions. For Senior Athletics register here.

Community Members – This membership category is for those over the age of 17 who would like to be involved in the club’s athletic activities but prefer not to compete in the more serious events offered by Capital Athletics. This is perfect for those who want to stay active, participate in club activities, and enjoy the social aspects of athletics without the pressure of high-level competition. Parents of existing members can also join and compete on Saturday mornings under this category. For Community Membership register here.

The Role of Parents and Carers of Junior Athletes – Register your nominated volunteer days on SignUp.com

Parents and carers are critical to junior athletics, and we require your involvement each week to move age groups between events and assist your club in key roles including set up and pack down, BBQ & canteen, marshalling, timing, and running track & field events.  Parents and carers must volunteer for roles through the app called ‘SignUp‘ , by selecting a minimum of 2 duties per registered athlete (minimum of 4 per family) for the season. Duties are listed for each meet, and training and instruction will be given for each role. If duties are not self-selected, they will be assigned and communicated to you.  Many hands make light work, and we thank you in advance for supporting your club.
