England vs Celtic Masters Road Running Competitions
The England Athletics Masters competition series aims to provide aspirational opportunities for the many affiliated club runners aged 35 years and above. The programme aims to complement the work of existing masters’ competition and we work closely with the British Masters Athletics Federation who have given their support to the programme.
nWe also work with race providers who are supportive of making these races a high-quality competition for master runners and provide a sub-elite start so that the teams do not have to start with the masses. Masters runners who qualify for the elite start by right can do so.
nThe Masters representative events for 2019 include:Sunday 26th May – Great Birmingham 10k Sunday 1st September – Maidenhead Half Marathon Sunday 20th October – Asda Foundation Yorkshire Marathon
nFurther information about the programme and ways of qualifying for the England team can be found at the link below. https://www.englandathletics.o...
nQualification for the Celtic Nations team is a little different and there is more info available in the invitation email being sent out to the Celtic Nations:Road Running Celtic Invites
nIt is great fun and a chance to represent your country, wear the vest and race a mass event from a special "sub-elite" pen up at the front. If you'd like more info speak with Sarah Gurney or Steve Oliver
