1.3.2 Divisions for individual championships are U12, U14, U16, U18, U20, U23 (athletes who turn 20, 21
and 22 in the calendar year) and Opens (athletes who turn 23-34 in the calendar year) for individual
events. These divisions apply to all Winter Championship events except for the Mountain Running,
Novice, Half Marathon or Marathon Championships where all athletes in these divisions are considered
to be Open athletes, in accordance with rule 1.3.4.
1.3.3 Divisions for team championships are U12, U14, U16, U18, U20 and Opens (athletes turning 20-34 in
the calendar year). These divisions apply to all Winter Championship events except for the Mountain
Running, Novice, Half Marathon and Marathon Championships.
1.3.4 A Junior athlete (turning 19 years or younger in the calendar year) is eligible to compete in the
Mountain Running Championships, Novice, and Half Marathon Championships as an open athlete for
both individual and team purposes. A junior athlete (turning 19 years or younger in the calendar year) is
not eligible to compete in the Marathon Championships.
1.4 Masters age divisions:
1.4.1 Each division is offered for both male and female.
1.4.2 The Masters age groups apply to all Winter Championship individual and team events as stated herein,
except for the Mountain Running Championships and Novice Championships, where the master age
divisions are not offered (individual or team).
1.4.3 Divisions for individual championships are in 5 year age groups from 35 years; 35-39, 40-44, 45-49,
50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70+ for all Winter Championship events except the Cross Country Relay,
Road Relay, Half Marathon, Mountain Running and Marathon Championship events.
1.4.4 The masters individual championship age divisions are in 10 year age groups from 35 years; 35-44, 4554, 55-64 and 65+ for the Half Marathon, Marathon, and Fernleigh 15.
1.4.5 The masters team championship age divisions are in 10 year age groups from 35 years; 35-44, 45-54,
55-64 and 65+ for all Winter Championship events except for the Novice, Mountain Running, and
Marathon where no masters teams events are contested.
1.4.6 Masters athletes may compete in their actual individual age division (i.e. 55+), whilst simultaneously
competing in a younger team division (i.e. 45+), provided the separate divisions are held within the
same event and the competition day administration team is notified of this through the appropriate form.
1.5 Athletes competing in a younger (for masters) or older (for juniors) age division for team purposes will
nonetheless be considered to compete as individuals in their actual age division, provided the two events are
held within the same race.
1.6 Where athletes competing in a younger (for masters) or older (for juniors) age division, for team purposes
or otherwise, do not compete in the race for their actual age division, as the two events may not be held within
the same race, the athlete will not be eligible for consideration in any individual championship. For example: In
the current format of the Long Cross Country, a 65+ male athlete competes as a 45+ athlete to complete a 45+
team for his club. He therefore runs the 12km event instead of his natural 8km event. If he does not also
compete in the 8km event, he will not be eligible for any individual championship (the 65 nor the 45 individual
titles). If, however, he competes for a 55+ team, and therefore competes in the same 8km event as his natural
65+ division, he will still be eligible for the individual championship in the 65+ division, notwithstanding that he
is competing as a 55+ athlete for team purposes.
1.7 All athletes competing in a race which contains the Open individual championship are eligible to be

has achieved a National or International medal will also be deemed ineligible for the Novice Championship
race.
2. AWARDS
2.1 In State Championships, first, second and third placegetters in both individual and team events shall
receive an ANSW medal.
2.2 In events where under 23, Open and Masters age athletes compete together, the first three placegetters
