1995 World Masters Athletics Championships
1995 World Masters Athletics Championships is the eleventh in a series of World Masters Athletics Outdoor Championships that took place in Buffalo, New York, United States from 13 to 23 July 1995.
The main venue was University at Buffalo Stadium,
which had been built 2 years prior to host the 1993 World University Games.

The governing body of this series is World Association of Veteran Athletes. WAVA was formed during meeting at the inaugural edition of this series at Toronto in 1975, then officially founded during the second edition in 1977, then renamed as World Masters Athletics at the Brisbane Championships in 2001.
This Championships was organized by WAVA in coordination with a Local Organising Committee of Vito J. Borrello, Neal Fatin, Robert Greene.
In addition to a full range of track and field events,
non-stadia events included 10K Cross Country, 10K Race Walk, 20K Race Walk, and Marathon. This may be the hottest Championships in the series so far, with temperatures around.
Due to a shortage of ambulances and dangers from heat exhaustion, some Cross Country races were postponed.
Due to an accidental detour, the W55 Cross Country was run short of the 10K distance.
