WMA Marathon Championships 2024

News – WMA
2024 WMA Marathon World Championship

Dear Regional Representatives and WMA Members,

The WMA Council is happy to announce their intention to schedule a WMA Marathon Championship in 2024.

Previously the WMA Marathon has been held in the past as part of our Stadia championships and following the General Assembly decision in Perth in 2016, the first separate WMA Marathon Championship was held in Toronto in 2018. With the advent of Covid it has not been possible until now to continue planning this championship event.

It is desirable that the event is held in conjunction with an already planned local or Masters’ Marathon in any region. WMA would, therefore, be pleased to hear from any Regional Masters organisation or National Federation which might be interested in hosting the event in 2024. Details, guidelines and Bid intention letter will be published soon.

Best Regards

Juan Ordóñez
WMA Secretary
