2003 World Masters Athletics Championships is the fifteenth in a series of World Masters Athletics Outdoor Championships that took place in Carolina, Puerto Rico, from July 1 to 13, 2003. [2] This is the first edition of the Championships conducted after the governing body of this series was formally renamed from World Association of Veteran Athletes (WAVA) to World Masters Athletics (WMA) at the previous (2001) edition held in Brisbane, Australia, [3] [1]
The main venue was Pista Atletica Basilio Rodriguez [4] within the Complejo Deportivo Municipal Roberto Clemente. [5] The competitions were interrupted by Hurricane Claudette. [6]
This edition of masters athletics Championships had a minimum age limit of 35 years for women and 40 years for men. During Assembly at this Championships the starting age for men was reduced from 40 to 35 for subsequent editions. Also, the inaugural 2004 Indoor Championships was approved to be held in Sindelfingen, Germany. [1]
This Championships was organized by WMA in coordination with a Local Organising Committee (LOC) headed by William Aleman.[1]
In addition to a full range of track and field events, [7] [8] non-stadia events included 8K Cross Country, 20K Race Walk, and Marathon.
