-
A certificate is given
to the runner for each of the 6 distances, once they achieve the Bronze,
Silver, Gold or Diamond standard for their age group for that event.
-
Once the athlete has
achieved the Bronze, Silver, Gold or Diamond standard for 5 out of
the 6 events, they will be presented with an ‘Overall Certificate of
Merit’. They can then work towards achieving the next set of standards.
-
When the runner moves
up to their next vet. category the slate is wiped clean and he or she
works towards achieving the times set out for this age group.
-
If the runner achieves
a mixture of standards for the 5 events, he or she will be awarded a
Certificate of Merit for the lowest of these. For example, if the
runner reaches Silver in 4 events and Gold in 1 event, they will receive
an ‘Overall Certificate of Merit – Silver’ and can then train to bring
the other 4 events up to the Gold standard.
-
The timing standards for
each event are set by UK Athletics.
-
Race Events must be UK:A
approved i.e. licensed and measured.
-
It is expected and
required that runners entering under the club affiliation scheme (i.e.
£1 off entry fee) will wear their Tavistock Athletic Club vest when
competing.
-
Athletes will move to
the next veteran category on their birthday.
-
This is different to the Club Grand Prix
where members stay in their age category for the entire Grand Prix
season.
