Masters Athletes selected from Brighton Marathon
Masters Athletes competing at the Brighton Marathon have qualified for the England Masters’ Marathon teams who will compete in the Chester Marathon next autumn.
Starting from Autumn 2016 the Bournemouth, Chester, Yorkshire, Brighton and Greater Manchester marathons have all provided masters athletes with the opportunity to represent England in the MBNA Chester Marathon on 8 October 2017.
Each of the five marathons act as a qualifying race, with the top five England Athletics registered runners in each masters age category at each race who have opted in to the qualifying system, guaranteeing themselves a place in the England team.
England Athletics Chief Executive Chris Jones commented, “We would like to congratulate each of the athletes who has qualified on their performances.
“The masters athletics scene is an integral part of the sport and we are delighted to give these athletes this opportunity.
“Bodies, such as the England Athletics Masters Association, provide a tremendous number of competitions for our masters athletes but we are delighted to be able to also offer this opportunity and show our support for these athletes.”
