The 140th running of the Powercor Stawell Gift will take place from April 16-18 in Stawell, Victoria, and tickets are on sale now! Visitors to the famous three-day carnival will be treated to top level athletics featuring Australia’s best athletes.
The Powercor Stawell Gift is an icon of Australian sport. Each Easter Long Weekend, Australia’s best runners and thousands of spectators descend on Central Park, Stawell, for one of the World’s most prestigious athletic carnivals.
2022 represents the 140th running of the Powercor Stawell Gift, with athletes competing for $60,000 in prizemoney. Competitors in the Change our Game Women’s Gift also compete for a $60,000 prize purse, with the event offering equal prize money for men and women.
Unlike the World Championships or Olympic Games which are conducted on synthetic rubber surfaces, the Powercor Stawell Gift is run on a grass track. For the majority of the year, Central Park in the regional town of Stawell is home to local AFL football and cricket, but at Easter time it transforms into an athletics mecca. For the sprint events, the athletes run in lanes that are separated by lane ropes, not painted lines. The famous finish gates are one of the most iconic features of the Gift.
