The AbbottWMM Global Run Club has launched the fourth edition of the Global Marathon, which is set to be ‘bigger and better’ this autumn/fall.
Kicking off on Sunday, September 25 with the BMW-BERLIN Marathon, the virtual event is open until Sunday, November 6 when the TCS New York City Marathon – the final Abbott World Marathon Major of Series XIV – takes place.
A live leaderboard will show the runners’ performances throughout the race season and once all results are in and verified, those aged 40 and above will be in contention for the 2023 AbbottWMM Wanda Age Group World Championships. Here, there will be 200 invites on offer to the top-placed runners across nine age categories.
Runners can complete their 26.2 miles as part of a Major event, another in-person race or plot their own course around their home. Those running at an AbbottWMM Wanda Age Group qualifying event will also earn world ranking points for the in-person qualification route, giving runners an opportunity to double their chances of making it to the World Championships.
Abbott’s Global Run Club is offering runners the chance to collect their Global Marathon medal at the AbbottWMM race expo of their choice. For expo collection, runners must order two weeks ahead of the start of race week. The medal will be available for collection at the AbbottWMM booths in Berlin, London, Chicago, and New York City.
