2025 World Masters Athletics Indoor Championships is the tenth in a series of World Masters Athletics Indoor Championships (also called World Masters Athletics Championships Indoor, or WMACi). This is the first time in this series that the competition is held in the United States.
This tenth edition took place in Gainesville, Florida, USA, from 23 to 30 March 2025.
The main venue is the newly constructed Alachua County Sports & Events Center,
which had its opening on June 10, 2023,
with the indoor track dedicated to the late Jimmy Carnes.
It is a banked six-lane track
where the turns are raised to neutralize the centrifugal force of athletes running the curves,
and may be the fastest indoor track in the world.
A site at West End hosts javelin throw, hammer throw and discus throw,
as well as cross country.
A 4-lane 200-meter outdoor straightaway warmup track is located less than a quarter mile from the Alachua County Sports & Events Center. Opening ceremonies included the customary Olympics-style Parade of Nations, with performances by the Gainesville Orchestra and Dance Alive National Ballet.
This Championships is organized by World Masters Athletics (WMA) in coordination with Alachua County Local Organizing Committee (LOC).
