Road Race Club Standards

Sutton-in-Ashfield Harriers & Athletic Club 

Club Road Race Standards

​

The standard times are based on the 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.

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

A new DIAMOND STANDARD has been introduced, being reserved for those exceptional athletes who feature in published NATIONAL RANKINGS.

MEN                        WOMEN

DIAMOND 85%     DIAMOND 85%

GOLD 80%             GOLD 80%

SILVER 75%            SILVER 75%

BRONZE 70%         BRONZE 70%

These standards would come into effect from the year APRIL 2009.
