# Masters M50 marathon world record progression

Masters M50 marathon world record progression is the progression of world record improvements of the marathon M50 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 M50 division consists of male athletes who have reached the age of 50 but have not yet reached the age of 55, so exactly from their 50th birthday to the day before their 55th 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.

# United Kashmir People's National Party

United Kashmir People's National Party (UKPNP) is a political party that advocates for an independent, united, and socialist Kashmir.

## Ideology

The party envisions Kashmir as the United States of Kashmir, comprising former states of Burushal, Dardistan, Boloristan, Ladakh, Purig, Kishtwar, Duggart, Poonch, and Kashmir Valley. The party aims to achieve this through a national democratic, non-violent revolution.

## History

The UKPNP was established on 10 April 1985 and is currently led by Sardar Shaukat Ali Kashmiri as chairman.
In May 2017, the United Kashmir People's National Party (UKPNP) held a conference in Brussels to discuss the political situation in the region. During the conference, the party released a statement that aimed to highlight the efforts of the Pakistani administration to convert Gilgit Baltistan into the fifth province of Pakistan. The statement was aimed at exposing what the party saw as a move to undermine the autonomy of the region and impose external control.
In a recent statement, the party criticized the government of Pakistan for its non-serious attitude towards Kashmir and described it as a "non-serious child" which is becoming weaker by the day. The party has called for a more proactive approach towards resolving the Kashmir issue and has urged the international community to play a more active role in facilitating dialogue between India and Pakistan.

The river is joined by several streams that drain the western flank of Mont Merrill, Caribou Mountain and several border mountains between Quebec and Maine (United States) which surround a valley which constitutes its watershed, drained by several branches of the Chutes brook, the Caribou brook and the Cascades brook. It flows between Mont Louise and Mont Flat Top before flowing onto the south-eastern shore of Lac aux Araignées.
Upper course of the river (segment of 21.2 kilometres (13.2 mi))

* 4.9 kilometres (3.0 mi) towards the west, crossing lac aux Araignées, to the dam located at its mouth.
Lower course of the river (segment of 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi))
From lac aux Araignées, the river takes the name of discharge of lac aux Araignées and flows to:
* 1.0 kilometre (0.62 mi) southward, to the north shore of a bay in Lac des Joncs (Mégantic);
* 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) south then north-west, to Lac des Joncs.
