Arthur ‘The Crimson Flash’ Postle is one of the Darling Downs’ greatest ever athletes.
At his sprinting peak he was one of the fastest men in the world holding records in the 50, 60, 75, 80 and 200 yard sprint events.
Postle was born just outside Pittsworth and the tiny country Queensland town has played host to the Arthur Postle Gift - a sprint carnival named in his honour since 2018.
The carnival has grown in popularity and stature each year, attracting some of Australia’s top sprinters.
Organisers recently confirmed dual Olympian Ellie Beers and reigning Stawell Gift women’s champion Chloe Maxwell would line up in the 2025 event.
Here’s a look back at some of the on track and social highlights from past Postle Gifts.
