For the first time in its two-decade history, the World Masters Athletics Indoor Championships is coming to the United States, with Gainesville set to host the prestigious event
in 2025.
From March 23 to 30, the Alachua County Sports Complex will welcome elite athletes
aged 35 and older from 97 nations, making it one of the most significant international
sporting events ever held in the region. The competition, which showcases top-tier
performances in track and field, is expected to draw more than 9,000 visitors, offering
a unique opportunity for the local community to engage with a global audience.
Santa Fe College is encouraging students, faculty and staff to get involved in the
event through volunteering, promoting campus programs and services, or networking
with international attendees. Student groups are invited to participate, gaining hands-on
experience while representing the college on the world stage.
