Abbott World Majors age grading qualification

This year, the Abingdon Marathon has joined the Abbott World Marathon Majors WANDA Age Group World Rankings as a qualifying race.

The Abbott World Marathon Majors Wanda Age Group World Rankings continue to grow and welcome new races into the qualifying process every year. The geographical spread of runners and races shows the appetite for high level competition across all ages and an invite to the World Championships is becoming a much sought-after goal.
