World Master Association Age Grade Tables

Updated and improved age grade tables were published in early 2025, so these are now used to calculate the Striders Championship.

The new tables seem to slightly reduce the scores with increasing age when compared with previous versions, i.e. older runners are getting better times. Perhaps this reflects an improvement in physical fitness with age over time for those who remain active, or just better running shoes!

You can test verify your result online. If you find any discrepancy with the champ table result, then please let me know - chris@redrat.co.uk.
