We recognise that athletes want to plan their races as early as possible. We are pleased to publish the qualification and representative races for 2022, and announce provisional races for the 2022-2023 season.
Races for 2022-2023:
Masters Team: Tenby Masters 5k, 10k and Half Marathon 2022
England Athletics worked in partnership with the England Masters Athletics Association and BMAF on an exciting addition to the England masters road running programme in 2022. An England Team of up to 8 people was selected in each of four 10 year age bands (35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65+ on the day of competition) to compete over 5k, 10k or half marathon in Tenby. This opportunity was in addition to the main England Masters Programme.

About our Masters programme
England Athletics recognises that a significant amount of the membership of road running clubs is made up of runners aged over thirty-five years. The Age Group Masters competition programme recognises and rewards the significant contribution that these runners make to our sport.
Through an annual rolling programme of qualifying events and representative opportunities we provide Masters runners with a friendly competition format and the chance to earn themselves an England Age Group Masters vest.
England Masters development webinars are open to all runners who want to make the most of their training. Find full details on the Age Group Masters opportunities page.
