Masters Events

Dulwich Runners have an excellent history of coaching veteran athletes and participating in various masters races including individual, team and relay races.

Masters races generally start from the age of 35, with categories at 5 or 10 year intervals (i.e. V40/45, V50/55, V60/65, and V70+ for both men and women), with older runners having the flexibility to run in junior age categories. Typical races that we target include:

County races organised by the Surrey and Kent County Athletics Associations. We have won various individual and team medals at cross country and track and field championships.
Regional races organised by the South of England Athletic Association (SEAA) of between 3 miles and 5 miles (with between 4 and 12 stages). These are typically held every September and March at Aldershot and Milton Keynes respectively.
National races organised by the British Masters Athletics Federation (BMAF) such as the annual British Masters relays events at Long Eaton (cross-country) and Kirby Mallory (road-running). We have previously medalled in the W35s, W45s, W55s and the M55s.
International races and championships. Some of our runners have been selected for the England or Great Britain Masters teams for cross country, road, indoor and outdoor track and field championships, with numerous medals to show for their efforts!
A number of our runners are also second claim members of Veterans AC (Vets AC) who also host a number of additional low cost races on the road, track and cross country throughout the year.
