AIMS was firmly established in May 1982 with its first Congress in London. Prior to that date and over a period of two years, informal meetings had been held amongst some of the world's leading marathon race directors with a view to setting up such an association. Meetings were held in New York, Honolulu and other venues prior to the formal meeting in London.
