With the 2026–27 Track & Field season just around the corner, we need the help of our Knox families and members to get the track and facilities ready for the new season.

Our annual Working Bee will be held on Saturday, 5 September 2026 from 10:00am to 12:00pm at the Knox Athletics Track.

There are a number of jobs to get through around the track, equipment areas and facilities so everything is ready for our Tryout Day on Saturday, 12 September, and the commencement of the upcoming Track & Field season.

Jobs will include general cleaning and tidying, preparation of competition areas, equipment checks and maintenance, gardening and other small jobs around the facility.

No special skills are required — many hands make light work, and even if you can only help for part of the morning, your assistance will make a big difference.
