The DUMFRIES HALF MARATHON which first took place in 1981 will incorporate the British Masters Athletics Championships

on SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 20TH  2026 with a RACE START at 11 AM. 

First all you must enter the Dumfries Half Marathon itself here.  This also gives you information about the race.

UKA Registration is mandatory for all championship competitors (except for overseas athletes who are not members of a registered club in the UK)

Cost of entry to the championships:

• BMAF Area Club members: Free
• Non-members: £5

Please enter your area club as your team code or use your first claim club code if you are registered with BMAF but you are not a current area club member. Overseas visitors without a UKA registration should enter their national team code.

(Joining an area club costs very little and many of the area clubs accept new members via BMAF OpenTrack.  This can be done without waiting for confirmation, before you enter the championships in order to save the cost of the non-member supplement.)  

The closing date for entries will be Saturday 19th September at midday. No late entries will be accepted.
