World Masters Marathon

World Masters Athletics
Marathon

The marathon has been a part of the modern Olympics since their founding in 1896, although women were only allowed to participate from 1984.

The distance did not become fixed until 1921, when the 42.195km used at the 1908 Olympics was adopted as the official standard. Prior to the this the distance varied from 40km to 42.75km.

There is also a marathon teams component for this race.

The event will no longer form a mandatory part of the event programme from 2018 on, being replaced by the half marathon. The WMA Marathon Champs will be held as part of a standalone event.

The 2018 Champs took place in Toronto, Canada as part of the Toronto Marathon.

National codes indicate a competitor's registered country at time of competition.
