British Masters 5 km Road Championships : Battersea Park, 29 November 2026
The British Masters 5 km Road Championships takes place in Battersea Park, London, with the race headquarters at the Bandstand. The event is organised by Veterans AC, with BMAF acting as agent, and is for masters athletes aged 35 and over.
The course is a traffic-free, flat, circular tarmac loop of 5 km. Changing and shower facilities are at the Millennium Arena Stadium; a charge is usually made but the BMAF will cover the fee for entrants who use these facilities if they inform reception. Refreshments and the medals presentation will be at the Pear Tree cafe.
Entry arrangements and eligibility: a current UKA registration is required. Overseas visitors without UKA registration should enter their national team code. Entry fees are £21 for BMAF Area Club members and £26 for other entrants. The closing date is 22 November 2026 or earlier if full. Entry is limited to 250 competitors in each race.
There will be two separate races to reduce congestion and allow more entrants. One race is for men in the 35 to 64 age groups; the other is for all women and men aged 65 and over. Medals are awarded to the first three finishers in each five-year age category from 35 to 100+. Team competition is by First Claim UKA club, three to score, with medals for top teams in ten-year age bands when conditions are met.
