Two meets. One festival. All the stakes.

 

The SA Festival of Athletics brings together the National School Games and the Singapore Open into one championship stretch. From high school standouts to national team hopefuls, it’s where talent gets tested, limits get redrawn, and future stars make their first statement.

 

Expect record hunts, tight rivalries, and a few unexpected breakthroughs. Whether it’s a teen on the rise or a veteran with something to prove, this festival isn’t just about gold—it’s about proving you belong.

 

The stage is set.

Welcome to the Festival.

Let the Games begin.
