CLUB AWARDS SCHEME

Updated for 2013!

We have re-packaged and relaunched the Club Awards scheme using a new set of standards. You can find these through the link below. Paul Marshall is administering the scheme and we will publish updates as and when club members achieve the new marks.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

  • A certificate is given to the runner for each of the 6 distances, once they achieve the Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Ruby or Diamond standard for their age group for that event.

  • Once the athlete has achieved the Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Ruby 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. reduced entry fee) will wear their Tavistock Athletic Club vest when competing.

  • Athletes will move to the next veteran category on their birthday.
