🏆 What a Night for Port Pirie Little Athletics! 🏆

We are incredibly proud to share that at the Little Athletics South Australia 2026 Association Awards Night, Port Pirie Little Athletics Centre was recognised with some amazing honours:

🥇 Winners – Regional Centre of the Year
🌟 Finalists – Regional Social Media Centre of the Year

To receive recognition at a state level is something our club is extremely proud of. These awards reflect the hard work, energy and community spirit shown throughout the season by our athletes, families, volunteers, committee members and supporters.

As a small regional centre, this recognition means so much and highlights what can be achieved when a community comes together to support kids in sport.

Pictured accepting the award is our Club President, James, whose leadership, passion and countless hours of work have helped build the club from the very beginning a few short years ago into the thriving centre it is today 👏

A huge congratulations as well to all centres recognised throughout the evening — especially our neighbouring regional clubs. It’s fantastic to see regional athletics being celebrated across South Australia.

Thank you to everyone who played a part in our 2025–2026 season. This recognition belongs to all of you!

Bring on next season 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️✨
