Hi everyone — I’m Nick Donaldson, an Australian sprinter originally from Canberra and now based on the Gold Coast, chasing my dream of representing Australia at the highest level.

Sport has been part of my life since day one, but the 400m has become my passion and focus. Through countless hours of training, sacrifice, and determination, I’ve been fortunate to achieve some special milestones so far. I’ve been part of the Australian 4x400m Relay program, and in 2024 I helped the men’s 4x400m team qualify for the World Relay Championships. Individually, I’ve run a personal best of 45.70 seconds — a time that drives me to keep pushing towards even bigger goals.

To continue competing at the highest level, I am raising funds to help support the significant costs involved in elite athletics, including:

- International travel and competition fees

- Training camps and coaching

- Equipment and gear

- Physio, recovery, and strength & conditioning

- Accommodation and logistics

These expenses aren’t fully covered by sponsorship or grants, so every donation makes a real difference to my journey.

Outside of the track, I work as a Resident Master at The Southport School, specifically in the Boarding community. Education is something I am passionate about, and I value the opportunity to mentor, guide, and support the next generation as they navigate their own pathways in life.

And more than just financial support — when you donate, you become part of my team. I genuinely value everyone who backs me, and I’m excited to bring you along for the ride. I’m committed to giving my all, every single race, and carrying your support with me around every lap.

Let’s make this journey together. Additionally, you can check out my full profile and statistics on World Athletics
