What is it?
The idea of the standards scheme is to give the clubs runners a goal as an incentive to improve their training and their times. A runner who meets one of the standards will be rewarded at the end of the year with a certificate appropriate to the standard they achieved.
How does it work?
Time standards are for both genders and for each age category – your age category will be determined by your age at the start of the year. Find your age category, choose the distance and read off the corresponding time for that ‘Standard’. That’s it!
Rules
To be awarded a certificate you must complete at least three of the distances of one standard. All times must be achieved at recognised athletic affiliated events with accurately measured courses i.e. RACES WITH A RACE PERMIT (No fun runs, off-road courses or cross country events). Official chip times only. Proof may be required.
