    ABBOTT WORLD MARATHON MAJORS

     

    For the first time, The Canberra Times Marathon Festival is certified by the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races, and is one of eight races in Australia that allow you to rank and qualify for the Abbott World Marathon Majors.

     

    The ranking comprises nine age groups between 40 and 80+ years. Runners in these age groups earn points and are ranked automatically against other runners across Australia and the world.

     

    The top runners in each of these age groups will be invited to the AbbottWMM Wanda Age Group World Championships at the end of the qualifying period.
