2024 VMA Throws Pentathlon Championship Registration

Registrations are now closed.

The Victorian Masters Throws Pentathlon Championship is an event in VMA’s “Masters 30+ Team Championship” series. As well as individual competition, Victorian Hubs will be competing for points that will count towards deciding which one will be the 2024 Masters 30+ Championship winner. 

The Throws Pentathlon events, in order, are: Hammer, Shot Put, Discus, Javelin, Weight. Competition will commence at 10 am.

To enter you need to be 30+ years of age and be a Masters’ affiliated athlete. Interstate and Overseas athletes are welcome to compete by invitation in the individual competition.  Any non-affiliated athlete will be required to join Victorian Masters Athletics – with the cost just $15/athlete (for first-time member). This affiliation also allows athletes to enter other VMA events throughout 2024 and you will also receive VMA’s bi-monthly magazine ‘Footprints’ which has a lot of information about VMA.

Medals will awarded to 1st, 2nd & 3rd Victorian placegetters in all Masters age groups (Interstate & overseas athletes will receive invitation medals). 

There will also be awards for individual (i) top age-graded (ii) top "rookie" (first time competing at Throws Pentathlon) & (iii) best estimated performance for both men & women.

Entry fee: $25. Entries close Wednesday March 20th (11.59 PM). No entries will be accepted on the day.

Victorian athletes will wear either (i) their mid-week venue top (ii) their team / “home track” athletics top or (iii) any top that is close in colour/appearance to either (i) or (ii).  Members of the Throwers venue (only) may wear the VMA top (as they do not currently have one of their own). Otherwise the VMA athletics top is now only worn at National events. 

We require 5 helpers on the day who will record results, announce athletes & read EDMs (device that measures distance of a throw).  The helpers could be athletes not competing (eh. through injury), family members or friends etc. This task is straightforward and brief training would be provided before the start of competition. Availability can be for all or part of day. Please contact Judy Pfanner so she can organise the roster.
