GENERAL RULES FOR CROSS COUNTRY AND ROAD RUNNING This section applies to the Mountain Running Championships, Novice Cross Country Championships, the Sydney: 10, the Long and Short Course Cross Country Championships, the Road and Cross Country Relays, the Half Marathon, Marathon Championships and the Fernleigh 15. 1. AGE GROUPS 1.1 Age for the purpose of all individual and team events in the Junior and Open divisions is determined by
age as at 31st December of the competition year. 1.2 Age for the purpose of all masters individual and team events is determined by age as at the day of
competition. 1.3 Junior and Open age divisions: 1.3.1 Each division is offered for both male and female. 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, 45-54, 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 considered for the Open Championship. However, for the purpose of teams, unless otherwise informed through the appropriate ‘Change of Division/Gender’ form, open teams will comprise of athletes aged 20-34.
1.8 In order to be considered eligible to race in the NSW Novice Cross Country Championship (Novice Men's
10km or Novice Women's 7km) athletes MUST NOT have placed 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in a NSW State Cross Country, road, or track event 3000m to 42,195m in the Open age group. This includes the NSW Half marathon and Marathon Championships (or similar events from other State Association competitions). Any athlete who 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 will be awarded the NSW Open Championship medal, even if they are of Under 23 or Masters age. An athlete may win an open award as well as the Championship title in their particular age group, however will not receive a second medal. 3. COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS 3.1 Country Championship medals will be awarded in each category at the: - Sydney:10 Road Race Championships - NSW Cross Country Championships - Short Walks Championships 3.2 Country athletes will receive the ‘Country Title Medal’ according to their finish place based on Country club competitors in the event. An athlete will not be eligible for two medals should they finish in a ‘top three’ position.
