In 2007, 2008, 2009
and 2010 we will use age grading to equalize competitors in each gender for the
series championship race.
Age-graded tables are
a series of "age factors" and "age standards" which can be
used to compare performances at different ages in road races. Age-graded tables
show how much a typical person's athletic performance improves during youth and
declines during aging. The performances vary by event. The tables were
researched by the World Association of Veteran Athletes (WAVA), the world
governing body for masters (veterans) long distance running.
The standards
correspond approximately to world record marks for a person of that age and sex
in that event. Achievement levels within a gender are:
100% Approximate
World Record Level
90%+ World Class
80%+ National Class
70%+ Regional Class
60%+ Local Class
