Two special "Age-group" Days are held each year by the QLAA at a venue to be decided. These are intended primarily to be fun days, and all athletes in the relevant age groups are strongly encouraged to nominate.

The Junior Carnival/Senior Pentathlon and Senior Carnival/Junior Pentathlon are designed to give athletes the opportunity to experience the "big time" of competition. These days are fun days. Athletes may attend both carnivals and compete in the program relevant to their age group.

A number of pentathlon competitions are conducted during the season. A Pentathlon consists of five individual events over one day of competition. Scores across the five events are aggregated to give an overall placing in each age group.

This season the Pentathlon Event will be combined with the Junior and Senior Carnival. Nomination forms for these days will be available at the appropriate times from the canteen and these will detail the events available to athletes in each age group and the nomination fees which must accompany the completed form.

We encourage each and every athlete to participate in these QLAA events as they are a great opportunity to meet athletes from other centres, and to enjoy Family Fun & Fitness while giving Little Athletics a go!

Under 15 athletes successful in the Pentathlon at State Championship level may also be selected to represent their state at the Australian Teams Championships.
