Club Standards
Here you will find the standards for a variety of disciplines for both men and women
The club standards are calculated by applying a percentage to the World Masters Athletics age standards. These scales compare times with a basket of the top world times produced by a number of elite athletes in each 5 year age-group.
​
The club standards were originally created in 1983 when the club was inaugurated. They were updated in 2015 by past Chairman, Derek Marsh. So to achieve a standard, a runner must be able to run x% as fast as the time in the WMA standards. The bronze standard should be within the reach of all moderately-capable club runners who train consistently. To achieve the gold standard, the runner should be able to compete with the top runners from other clubs in age-graded competitions. The silver standard should be set at a level between these two.
​
If you achieve one of these standards then its your own responsibility to inform the club and provide the information so we can confirm it has been achieved.
