AbbottWMM Wanda | Блог про біг

By participating in the “Bila Tserkva Marathon” and “Palma Marathon” I learnt that during these marathons, each participant can qualify for the World Championships in their age group “AbbottWMM Wanda Age Group”, the event is to be held during the London Marathon. I was very interested in this fact and decided to find out more about it.

And so, the World Age Group Championships “AbbottWMM Wanda Age Group” is held in nine age groups:

40 - 44
45 - 49
50 - 54
55 - 59
60 - 64
65 - 69
70 - 74
75 - 79
80+

At the end of the qualification period, the runners with the highest ranking in each age group will be invited to the "AbbottWMM Wanda Age Group World Championships". The ranking is valid for a year and runners can receive points for performances in any official qualifying event of the ranking.

HOW TO SCORE POINTS 

The maximum number of points that can be scored in any race by the winner of an age group is 4000. The minimum number of points that can be scored is 1000. The two best results in marathons during this period will be counted towards rating of each runner.

Any age group athlete within 29 seconds of the age group winning time in the "AbbottWMM" race will receive 10 points less, earning 3990 points. Runners within 30-59 seconds of the winning time receive 20 points less, and those within 1 minute and 29 seconds of the age group winning time receive 30 points less, and so on.
