2019 World Masters Athletics Indoor Championships is the eighth in a series of World Masters Athletics Indoor Championships (also called World Masters Athletics Championships Indoor, or WMACi). This eighth edition took place in Toruń, Poland, from 24 to 30 March 2019. [2] [3] [4] [5]

The main venue was Arena Toruń, which has a banked six-lane indoor track [6] [7] where the turns are raised to neutralize the centrifugal force of athletes running the curves. Supplemental venues included Municipal Stadium for throws, and Rudelka Park for Cross Country.

This Championships was organized by World Masters Athletics (WMA) in coordination with a Local Organising Committee (LOC): Sandy Pashkin, Brian Keaveney, Wackaw Krankowski. [8]

The WMA is the global governing body of the sport of athletics for athletes 35 years of age or older, setting rules for masters athletics competition. [9]

A full range of indoor track and field events were held. [10] In addition to indoor competition, non-stadia events included Half Marathon, [11] 8K Cross Country, 10K Race Walk, 10K Road Race, [12] Weight Throw, Hammer Throw, Discus Throw and Javelin Throw.
