List of masters world records in road running

Last updated

This is a list of world records for Masters age groups in the sport of road running. The world governing body for masters athletics is World Masters Athletics (WMA). WMA conducts various world championships in what are called "non stadia" events, meaning races not held in the confines of a stadium. But with the exception of the marathon and three race walking events, WMA does not publish world records in other common road racing distances. These unofficial records are kept instead by the Association of Road Racing Statisticians (ARRS). In the case of the marathon, these two organizations agree on many records, but in the age groups where they disagree, the WMA ratified record is highlighted in yellow.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Valencia Marathon</span> Annual race in Spain held since 1981

The Valencia Marathon is an annual marathon road running event hosted by Valencia, Spain, since 1981. It is categorized as a Platinum Label Road Race by World Athletics. The race is organised by the Valencian sports club SD Correcaminos, which also organises the annual Valencia Half Marathon.

The 20K run is a long distance foot race. It is a rarely held race that is not recognized as an Olympic event. The event held IAAF world championship status in 2006 only, when the existing IAAF World Half Marathon Championships briefly hosted the shorter distance.

The 25K run is a long distance running footrace that is between the distance of a half marathon and a marathon. It was formerly an official world record distance in road running by World Athletics, but has since been downgraded to world best status. Separately, the Association of Road Racing Statisticians retains world records in the 25K distance. The ARRS holds different standards for records than World Athletics, with exclusions for certain point-to-point races and mixed sex races. As a result its women's world record is 1:26:34 by Nancy Conz, set in 1982.
