TrackAthletes is your ultimate resource for following Australian track and field athletes. It includes information about Australian athletes, what competitions they’ll be competing in, links to the livestreams of the events and other information on how to follow all the major domestic and international indoor, track and field, multievent, race walking, cross country and road racing events.
We list the Australian athletes currently in qualifying spots for major international championships, such as Tokyo (World Athletics Championships), and the qualification picture for other international championship events, such as Guangzhou (World Relay Championships), as well as links to event websites and selection policies.
If you want to follow specific athletes or meetings, simply set up an account, and add the athletes, competitions and championships you’re interested in to your Watchlist.
Anyone with an interest in Australian athletics will find something of interest on the site. Our main target audience are fans of the sport - new and diehard - who want to watch more Australian athletes in action.
If you’re just interested in, for example, Liam Adcock because you went to school with him, then select his profile from the Australian Athletes page, set up an account, and add him to your Watchlist. If you opt to receive email notifications, we’ll let you know every time he's due to compete.
If you’re a die-hard fan, and want to watch everything the sport has to offer, then check our calendar each day, and you’ll see what competitions are on, and how to watch them.
We’ll write articles for those who are somewhere in between, and want to learn more about the sport, when the best events are on, and how to watch them.
If you’re an athlete, you can use the filter options on our calendar to plan your season. However, we strongly recommend that you check all details on the meeting organisers’ websites before firming your race plan; some information, including dates of competitions and level of the meet, can change as the season progresses.
We want to elevate the sport of athletics, and journalists and others working in athletics media may find useful information for telling the story of Australian athletes on their journey to major championships. Drawing information from TrackAthletes is free but we'd appreciate credit in return.
TrackAthletes is all about tracking athletes, irrespective of their discipline, as they compete on the international circuit and try to qualify for major championships. We share links so you can follow Australian athletes (by livestream and live results, where available), in track and field competitions and on the roads and cross country, and updates of athletes qualified for upcoming major championships. Australia have many talented field and multi-event athletes and we’re just as excited to track their progress as we are the sprinters and distance runners.
Firstly, you’ve come to the right place. We really want to help lower the entry barrier for new fans of athletics. During the Australian winter, there's meets happening in the Northern Hemisphere that Australians are competing in. We’ll list those events and the livestream links - that you can watch if you're brave in the early morning - or watch on repeat. This way you can keep track of how our athletes are going in their quest for qualifiation or just chasing those PB performances.
We share some articles on what is good to watch and how to follow the sport closer. For starters, check our guide to folllowing the Diamond League.
This searchable database of events includes national and international competitions, and will be of interest to both fans looking to watch the events, and athletes looking to plan their season.
Dates of competitions, events at a particular meeting, and the level of the meeting may change. While every effort is made to ensure that the information is up to date, please always check the meeting website. We hold no responsibility for loss or damage occurring as a result of information gained from this site.
The Upcoming Meetings list on our homepage indicate the next meetings with high-profile Australian athletes confirmed in them. If you'd like to see a more complete list of upcoming meetings, then please check out the Meeting Calendar.
No. TrackAthletes is focused on senior athletics. Some major U20 events may be mentioned, especially if there’s an international championship to watch, but the priority is always adult and senior athletes and competitions.
Profiles of individuals who are under the age of 18 will never be added to the site.
No. Last-minute changes happen, due to illness, injury, missed flights or an athlete being upgraded to a higher meeting. The higher the meeting, the more likely an athlete listed on the final startlist is to compete. Some meetings (Continental Tour Bronze and below, in particular) only list entries in advance, and the final startlists are not available until athletes check in for their event(s) an hour before.
We will always try to list the most up-to-date information we can find, but this is not always accurate. We encourage athletes to let us know if they are no longer competing in a competition they've entered, but sometimes they have other things on their mind.
While only events that happened yesterday or are in the future will appear by default on the calendar, if you choose the year filter, you will see past events. Events back to when the site was started (January 2025) can be found this way, though there is no guarantee that the links still work (as these are all on external websites).
You don’t. But if you want to save athletes and events to your Watchlist, then you’ll need to register an account. When you’re setting up your account, you can opt to receive email notifications about when the athletes on your Watchlist are due to compete. We'll also send additional information during championships to those who have selected the relevant box.
No. While both sites are specific to the country, the user accounts and Watchlists are combined. Once you're registered and logged in, any Athletes, Meetings, Championships and Articles you add to your Watchlist, on either site, will appear on your combined Watchlist, and you should only receive one Watchlist reminder email per day.
If you notice that you're receiving the wrong Championship emails (e.g. information about Irish teams when you want to know about the Australian team, or vice versa), simply change your 'country' in your account settings.
We take your privacy rights seriously, and you’ll find the full details of why we collect data, what data we collect and how we store and manage it in our Privacy Policy.
TrackAthletes was set up in 2025 by Louise Shanahan and Elizabeth Egan, both athletes, avid athletics fans, and data enthusiasts. Angus Barnes has been working with them since April 2025 to help establish and manage the Australian TrackAthletes page.
Louise is an Irish senior international athlete. She competed in the 800m at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, has multiple Irish titles and held the Irish senior 800m record from May 2022 to May 2023. She completed a PhD in Quantum Physics at University of Cambridge in 2024, and has since picked up the programming skills to build this website.
Elizabeth has been tracking Irish athletes on their ‘Road to…’ journeys, deciphering ranking points and sharing links to livestreams and results since 2020. She has a PhD in Exercise Physiology, has published two books, and provides lifestyle and personal development coaching to high performance sportspeople.
Angus’s passion for athletics stems from days as a junior middle distance runner in the 1980’s representing Tasmania. He’s always been interested in the data and reporting aspect of sport, editing an in-house newsletter for the Australian Institute of Sport resident athletes, while living there as an athlete supervisor. His level of engagement with athletics has grown over the last few years with the increasing prevalence of livestreamed events and growing prominence of Australia athletes on the world stage.
All photos on the site are used with the permission of the photographer who took them and who is credited. We are indebted to Fred Etter, Michael Thomas (MTSportsPhotography), InsideAthletics, SS Athletics and Keith McClure for the use of their wonderful shots.
If you're a photographer and have photos that we can use, then we'd love to hear from you. We're particularly interested in photos of field, road event and para athletes.
You can get in touch via email or through the contact form on this site. We’d love to hear your comments and suggestions on how the site can be improved. We also want to hear when we’ve missed information or got something wrong, so that we can correct it.
More athlete profiles will be added as the site grows, but if there’s an athlete that you would like to follow then do get in touch.
Please contact us via email or our mistake reporting form. We want the information on the site to be correct, but we're human and sometimes we get things wrong. Whether we've missed the fada from your name, added you to a meeting that you're not competing in, or missed a PB or qualifying standard, please don't feel like you're being a nuisance.
We make every effort to add meetings relevant to Australian senior athletes and fans (e.g. domestic competitions, international competitions that Australian athletes are competing in, international meetings that Australian athletes might be interested in watching). However, sometimes we miss an important event. If that's the case, then please get in touch.
