England Athletics announced its age-group masters squad for the Manchester Marathon on 19 April. The representative competition has moved from its usual autumn position into spring, with England facing Wales and Northern Ireland within the wider mass-participation event.

The published team spans age categories from over-thirty-five to over-seventy-five. The youngest group includes Adam Holland of Tavistock, Rob Corney of Reading and Aisling Wall of Horsforth, while Peter Kirby of Teignbridge Trotters represents the oldest listed category.

The federation said the national teams would join approximately forty thousand runners at the start. The selected athletes qualified for England Age Group Masters vests, with runners from clubs around the country preparing for the full marathon distance in Manchester.
