Welcome to the British Masters Athletic Federation Website.

M50 medallists from Poznan
The Federation, originally known as the British Veterans Athletic Federation, was formed in 1975 to encourage, organise, regulate, and administer athletics for women of not less than 35 years of age and men not less than 40 years of age. However since August 2005 the ages have been equalised, so the starting age for men is now also 35.
If you are currently an active sportsperson or tempted to take your first tentative steps back into competition, or simply a social runner that requires someone to run with, then the BMAF is for you. Please visit the affiliated clubs page to find out details of the most suitable area club for you.
