2005 World Masters Championships set new entry records.

All previuos entry levels smashed as 1,111 Master enter for this years championships.

The 5th Masters World Mountain Running Championships to be held in Keswick (England) on Saturday 10th September has received 1,111 entries, smashing all previous entry levels out of sight.
This is due largely to the massive entry list from the Gt. Britain masters, but also to the excellent promotional activity of the LOC, aided by WMRA.
The large entry also confirms the vision of the WMRA in introducing a world level event for Master athletes.
The ‘World Masters Athletics’ responsible for all Masters athletics under the IAAF umbrella also confirm this success by joining WMRA for further editions of the championships – as you will have seen from our previous announcement.
The courses are now marked, early arrivals are training on them, and all is set for some fine competition.
