Masters M70 marathon world record progression

Masters M70 marathon world record progression is the progression of world record improvements of the marathon M70 division of Masters athletics. Records must be set in properly conducted, official competitions under the standing IAAF rules unless modified by World Masters Athletics. The M70 division consists of male athletes who have reached the age of 70 but have not yet reached the age of 75, so exactly from their 70th birthday to the day before their 75th birthday. Marathon running is not normally seeded into age divisions so all of these records were set in marathon race open to most other age groups.
