We currently maintain lists of records for Outdoor Track & Field, Indoor Track & Field and Racewalks, and "bests" for Road Racing. These records are maintained, on behalf of the CMAA, by volunteer "Records Chairs". Each list of records can be accessed by clicking on the appropriate item on the above white navigation bar.

Because of differing requirements for acceptance of records, we have developed forms of Record Applications which are specific to various disciplines - Track, Field, Throws, Racewalks, etc. These Application Forms, in pdf format, can be accessed by clicking on the appropriate item in the list of Application Forms below. Because of the large number of World Records being set by Canadians, the WMA World Track and Field Record Application form is also included.

All of the records listed here are Canadian records, which have been ratified by the CMAA. To be ratified, such records may be set anywhere in the World, but must be set by Canadian citizens, or by other persons who are and have been full-time residents of Canada for at least two years. There are many other rules pertaining to the setting of these records. These rules have the general aim of protecting the existing holders of records - in other words, to ensure that records are changed only with appropriate controls. The more significant of these rules, including some rules pertaining to the setting of World Records, are outlined below under "Rules for Setting Masters Athletics Records". No open masters records are maintained by the CMAA.
