It is with great pleasure that we attach the General Information Sheet for the IAU 100 km World Championships in Ames, Spain on 20th September 2026. This provides you with all the information on the site of the championships, travel and accommodation details as well as the entry procedure. Federations are reminded that this year there will be no travel grant for federations and this information was published on the IAU website recently,
This year we will be using the World Athletics Event Entry System with thanks to World Athletics for its use.
Federations will be familiar with its use for World Athletics Championships and for the World Mountain and Trail Running Championships for the last years. IAU Federations that do not have access via their WA Federations are encouraged to liaise with their colleagues or if necessary contact us below.
Access to the system for the Preliminary entries will be on 1st June and will close on 30th June and the Final Entries can be supplied from August 1st until the final deadline of 30th August.

Your Training & Nutrition Starting Point
A solid foundation to build from
Based on your answers, here's the shape of a basic program to get you moving in the right direction.
Training
2 quality sessions — technique and intensity work for your event
1–2 recovery sessions — easy movement, mobility, and rest
1 strength session — masters-specific conditioning
Nutrition
Session-day fuelling — eat with your training load, not against it
Recovery basics — hydration, protein timing, and sleep habits
This is just the outline. The full program — personalised to everything you told us, with session-by-session training, nutrition guidance, and coaching support — lives inside the app.
