Track and Field consists of a number of events open to the various age groups based on age and level of development, including:
The Track and Field competition season runs from late April to the end of July.
In April, May and June the Vancouver Island Athletics Association (VIAA) member clubs host a series of track meets at various locations on Vancouver Island. Athletes 9 years of age and older, as of December 31 of the year of competition, may compete in these meets.
