Road Race Standards

​

After reviewing the Road Race Standards for the Club, it was decided to revise them.

The new standard times are based on the  NATIONAL AGE-GRADE TABLES.

These tables compare times with a group of the top world times produced by a number of elite athletes in each 5-year age group.

It is our intention for this to make the Standards more generous to Club Members.

Note from April 2022 when these new times come into effect a new race distance will be introduced, this being for 5K.

NOTE :

Park Run times will NOT BE ALLOWED for this distance, because Park Runs are not accurately measured

The new STANDARDS will therefore be set at a percentage of the AGE-GRADE TABLES

DIAMOND       85%

GOLD             78%

SILVER           72%

BRONZE         65%

​
