Age Groups

We will be using UK Athletics Road Age Groups:

Under 13 Boys and Girls (School Years 7 & 8) Road Running competitions for Under 13s shall be confined to competitors who are aged 11 or 12 on 31st August prior to the commencement of the Competition
Under 15 Boys & Girls (School Years 9 & 10) Road Running competitions for Under 15s shall be confined to competitors who are aged 13 or 14 on 31st August prior to the commencement of the Competition
Under 17 Men & Women (School Years 11 &12) Road Running competitions for Under 17s shall be confined to competitors who are aged 15 or 16 on 31st August prior to the commencement of the Competition.

Please note the new rule: Athletes must be 11 on August 31st prior to the start of the Competition Year rather than 11 on the day of the race. This means that year 6 pupils cannot compete against years 7 and 8 pupils. For further information on the Rules of Competition | UK Athletics you can find the Rulebook Draft 5 (uka.org.uk) where reference to road and cross country running is listed on page 97.
