Coles Community Round is a celebration of the Coles Little Athletics partnership at Little Athletics Centres across Australia. Little Athletics Centres are encouraged to host a Coles Community Round event as part of their normal weekly Centre meet during the selected dates.
Little athletes, volunteers and families can participate by wearing a splash of Coles red to embrace the Coles theme. Other simple ideas to enjoy the themed round could be hosting a Coles banana race or a Coles Gift, dressing up as a Coles chef or even a delivery van. Centres can be as creative as possible to showcase the Coles Little Athletics partnership.
Coles Community Round is also a great way for your Centre to further engage with your local Coles store by inviting out Team Members to get involved and see the great things your Centre is doing in the community.
We are excited to be holding the 2025 Coles Community Round from Wednesday 5 - Tuesday 18 November 2025.
