EXPLANATORY NOTES

  • 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.

  • Race Results for the Award scheme will be taken from the TAC website.

  • If an athlete participates in a race that is not published on the website please inform the webmaster (Allan Herdman) or Road Race Secretary. Please provide details where the results can be verified i.e. race website.

  • For additional information and clarification on aspects of the scheme please see Chris Eastaugh, Road Race Secretary.

  • Finally – this is a new scheme to the Club. If you have any suggestions or ideas, or spot anything that can be improved or clarified, please make your views known.
