The AbbottWMM Wanda Age Group World Championships continues to go from strength to strength, and this year in London we welcomed our biggest field yet, with 3,000 athletes from around the world joining us at the start line in Blackheath.
With nine different age categories, we handed out 54 individual awards to runners who had taken on the grueling course around the British capital. We celebrated their achievements with a gala reception after the race which featured a surprise appearance from none other than marathon world record holder Eliud Kipchoge.
Next year’s championships are due to take place at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, with qualifying set to conclude in the coming days and up to 3,000 more athletes aged 40+ set to receive invites for the right to run to become age group world champion!
