The 2025 Maurie Plant Meet is set to take center stage at Lakeside Stadium in Melbourne on March 29. This is the first major meet of the outdoor season and the opening World Athletics Continental Tour Gold event.

The event is being staged alongside the Melbourne Invitational, which is a part of the World Athletics Continental Tour Bronze series. However, the invitational events begin at 5:48 PM AEDT, while the Maurie Plant Meet kicks off at 5:30 PM AEDT beginning with the women’s javelin throw featuring local favorites Kelsey-Lee Barber and Mackenzie Little.

The main attractions in the track events include reigning Olympic 200m gold medalist Letsile Tebogo, young prodigies Gout Gout and Sam Ruthe, and middle-distance runners Peter Bol and Olli Hoare, among others. The 400m dash is expected to be one of the most exciting contests, with Tebogo facing his Olympic relay silver medal teammates, Bayapo Ndori and Leungo Scotch.

Meanwhile, the former world champion Eleanor Patterson will head into the event as the one to beat in the women’s high jump. Patterson was brilliant during the indoor season where she won the silver medal at the 2025 World Athletics Indoor Championships with a clearance of 1.97m.

With this, let’s look at the full schedule and streaming platforms for the event -
