Congratulations to Paul Hook M75. Last weekend in Hobart Paul threw the 56lb weight a distance of 3.52m, to set a new SAMA record.
Paul also has the one-arm weight throw record of 11.76m achieved in Hobart last year. He was aiming to better it this year but unfortunately it was decided that it was unsafe to continue competition in the dark!

And meet Patricia, Paul’s wife and support crew!

Have you entered?

Make sure to get your entry in for the Adelaide Harriers King's Birthday 5km!

Runners nominate an expected finishing time for the 5km course and then complete the run without a watch. The winner is the person with an actual time closest to their predicted time. Anyone can win regardless of speed.

This event is actually the longest-held running turkey fun run in Australia!

Earlybird pricing closes midnight tonight - get in before prices increase

At last night's Athletics SA 2025/26 Awards Night several SAMA performances were recognised. Sarah Chinner was the recipient of the Summer Premiership Season Women's Over 35 Award for the highest number of points gained in competition. The SAMA women were also Club Premiers in the Summer competition in the Over 35 category.
George White, in the Major Awards category, was the recipient of ASA's Over 35 Athlete of the year Award. Sarah was also a finalist in this category.
SAMA's depth in quality athletes was evidenced on the night by the inclusion of a number of other athletes as Award finalists.
