Series Rules

Challenge rules:

Runs must be 1 Mile (1.61kms), 5 kms, 10kms, 21.1kms or 42.2kms. No accumulated distances.

Nominate one run distance for each run posted. E.G. You cannot run 10kms and take the time for 10kms, 5kms and 1 Mile.

Time can be for a set distance or consecutive splits from an over distance run.

If no splits distance overruns should be averaged back to the nominated distance. Under distance need to be penalised, add one minute per 0.1kms or part thereof.

You can post as many times you wish for each distance but, please, you MUST post on the day of your run.

Leader boards are live and last submission will be 23:59 (KL local time) on the 22nd. Aug 2021

Runs must be actual runs, no accumulated distances, no running on the spot, no powered treadmills or other equipment and no skipping.

No downhill courses please it's unsportsman like.

Watches and apps should be set to their standard RUN setting in RACE mode with auto pause switched off.

Post your time in the app on the day of your run.

Note the organisers can ask for verification of your run at anytime. Failure to do so may result in a DQ

The organiser has the right to refuse entry or disqualify any participant without disclosing a reason and also to request further clarification of any run submitted. The organiser's decision in any matter is final.

ALL top ten finishers will be asked to show proof of their run if not given at the time of entry.

AaGA, Age and Gender Adjusted, timing tells you just how good you were measure against all the participants, AaGA gives you a result that creates a near equal playing field.

We create a base line, the world best running time for your age and gender for each distance.

Your finishing time is then represented as a percentage of your time against the baseline time to create points.

The highest percentage is the Age and Gender Adjusted distance winner.

The highest total points accumulated across the five distances will be our Challenge Trophy winner.

However, the most important competition is the one with yourself, to improve week by week, that's why we will all be winners.

What about you? Are you up to the challenge of competing on level terms?

You can post the time from a distance time trial, as a distance lap or as splits. If you post splits you must take the best CONSECUTIVE splits as your run. Any run times posted as a single run that is over distance should be averaged back. Runs shorter than distance need to be penalised 1 minute per 0.1km or part thereof.

Q: How many are in my country team?

A: The COUNTRY challenge, everyone is involved, there is no minimum and no limit, the average of the best three points total for each distance creates the country's score.

Q: I have entered but cannot/have not entered a time. What will happen?

A: Anyone not posting a time will be placed equal last place and score no points.

THE

TEAM

The AaGA Challenge Trophy.

This is just my way of giving back to the sport I have loved for so many years.

While still competitive at heart I am slowing with age, but where there is a will there is a way.

Age and Gender Adjusted Timing gives us all, young and old, male and female, the opportunity to compete on equal terms.
