Useful Information

Age groups in athletics are based on school years and are determined on an athlete’s date of birth on the 1st September. That makes it quite easy to check age groups. The complication comes that athletes move up an age group every 2 years at the start of the track and field season, which is usually March or April. To help understanding, we have built a little table to help everyone work out what age group every athlete will be in:

School Year Cross Country Competitions (except schools) School Cross Country Competitions Sportshall Competitions Track & Field Competitions
Year 4 Under 11 Year 4 Under 11 Under 11
Year 5 Under 11 Year 5 Under 11 Under 11
Year 6 Under 11 Year 6 Under 11 Under 13
Year 7 Under 13 Minors Under 13 Under 13
Year 8 Under 13 Juniors Under 13 Under 15
Year 9 Under 15 Juniors Under 15 Under 15
Year 10 Under 15 Intermediates Under 15 Under 17
Year 11 Under 17 Intermediates Under 17 Under 17
Year 12 Under 17 Seniors Under 17 Under 20
Year 13 Under 20 Seniors Under 20 Under 20

Road races (e.g. parkruns and our Upton Summer Series) are less common for young athletes and there are no official rules about age groups for prizes. Each run therefore sets its own rules, which is usually, but not always, based on the age of the runner on the day of the event.

How To Join

Free Taster Sessions

We offer 2 free taster sessions so your child can come along and join in the fun to see if the club is right for them.
Please complete the contact form using the button below.

Please DO NOT just turn up at track, await a response email, inviting your child to come down on a specific session. This enables us to ensure coach to athlete ratios are adequate and safe for all our athletes.

On your first taster session, please arrive 15 minutes before the session starts, so we can register you and explain how the club and the session operates.
