IAU/WMA 50k World Championship
2025-12-07 | New Dehli
Dear Friends,
I would like to welcome you all to the IAU 50km World Championships in New Delhi,
India.
India has become one of regular stops on the ultrarunning championships calendar.
The development of ultrarunning, the growth of the discipline and overall popularity
of the sport has been incredible in the country.
This has been in a huge part due to the continued support of the Athletics Federation
of India (AFI). I would like to thank Bahadur Singh Sagoo, the current President of AFI,
and Adille Sumariwalla, the former President of AFI and VP of World Athletics. Their
support has tremendously helped with the growth of the sport in the region.
I would also like to thank Nagaraj Adiga and his team at NEB Sports for hosting
multiple championships and giving athletes a solid platform to run on the continental
and international platforms. With this current application they have solidified a threeedition home for the 50km World Championships.
I would like to take this opportunity to invite athletes and federation to this marquee
event on the IAU calendar. You will get to experience not only a world class event but
also witness Indian hospitality. The memories you take back will last a lifetime.
Welcome to India’s Capital!

The wait is over: the official Entry Booklet of the European Athletics Masters Championships, scheduled in Madeira from 8 to 19 October 2025, is available.
This document represents an essential tool for all participants, offering a detailed overview of every aspect of the event, from logistical information to the race program, through institutional greetings and regulations, making it an unforgettable event.
A warm welcome from the Authorities
Greetings from the key figures who support this wonderful event are always welcome. The Governor of the Madeira Archipelago, the President of European Masters Athletics (EMA) and the President of the Local Organizing Committee share words of enthusiasm and welcome, underlining the importance of this event for the development of masters sport and for the valorisation of the territory . The introduction reflects Madeira’s pride in becoming the center of European masters athletics, offering not only high-level competition but also a unique experience immersed in its culture and natural beauty.
Sports facilities and race routes
Madeira is ready to welcome athletes in four beautiful athletics fields. Each system is described in detail, with information on the services and technical characteristics available. Off-track races represent another strong point: the routes for road running and walking have been selected to combine technical challenge and breathtaking views, while the cross-country route will offer athletes the opportunity to run immersed in unique nature of the island, famous for its volcanic landscapes and its lush forests.
Race calendar and strategic planning
The general timetable reported in the booklet is a fundamental tool for athletes, coaches and delegations. This will allow participants to organize the trip and better plan their preparation and optimize their time on the island, balancing competitions and moments of relaxation.
Madeira: an island to discover
Then there is the logistical information. Madeira, known as the “island of eternal spring”, is easily accessible thanks to numerous air connections from the main European cities. The document provides details on how to get around the island, with suggestions on the most efficient and practical means of transport to access the competition fields and the various facilities. For those who want to explore the island beyond the sporting aspect, Madeira offers an infinite number of opportunities: trekking along the famous levadas, excursions to mountain peaks and walks in the charming local towns, enriched by a culinary culture that will not disappoint.
Registrations and deadlines
The booklet provides all the instructions to complete registration for the races, specifying the requirements, procedures, deadlines. Among these we remember right now the registration deadline which is by September 2, 2025, ensuring that you meet the eligibility criteria and provide the necessary documents for hassle-free participation.
Rules and regulations.
Another fundamental section of the booklet is dedicated to the technical regulations. All regulations are included to ensure compliance with international standards, with particular attention to the safety of athletes and the integrity of competitions.
An event not to be missed
The official booklet is more than just an information tool: it is the first step to immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of Madeira 2025. In addition to being a practical guide for athletes and delegations, it represents an invitation to discover the spirit of masters athletics, made up of competition, friendship and passion for sport.
The island of Madeira is ready to welcome thousands of athletes from all over Europe to celebrate an event together that, we are sure, will be memorable. All you have to do is download the booklet, which you can find at this link:
