The trials for the World Masters Athletics Indoor Championships are set to take place this Saturday at Kenyatta University (KU), offering veteran athletes a chance to showcase their skills. This event will serve as a qualifying opportunity for the World Masters Indoor Championships scheduled for March 2025 in Gainesville, Florida.
Athletes aged 35 and above from across Kenya are expected to participate in various track and field events, including sprints, middle- and long-distance races, throws, and jumps. The trials aim to select a strong contingent to represent the country at the global event. These championships provide an international platform for veteran athletes to compete while celebrating fitness and sportsmanship regardless of age.
The trials are organized under the auspices of Athletics Kenya and supported by the World Masters Athletics (WMA). The WMA emphasizes inclusivity, welcoming recreational athletes alongside seasoned competitors and former Olympians. This initiative not only promotes healthy living but also reinforces the enduring spirit of athletics across generations
