History

Kenmore Little Athletics (KLA) was established in September 1975 – 45 years ago! From modest beginnings the club grew to become, in the 1978/79 season, the largest centre in the State with over 500 athletes registered in that season.

Did you know …

1. There were four other Little Athletics Clubs that were derived from the KLA Centre. They were: Indooroopilly, Kenmore South, Centenary and Moggill – Bellbowrie. Only the Centenary Centre is still running.

2. Kenmore is the third oldest centre in the QLD Little Athletics Association, only being younger than Redcliffe (1973) and Mt Gravatt (1974).

3. KLA has a proud record of achievement with two current Australian records and 10 Queensland records.
