A runners’ age category will be dictated by their age as at the first race of each series (Spring League – Kibworth 6 / Summer League – Prestwold 10k). It is therefore possible a runner can change age category from one series to the next if they are crossing an age boundary between the two series starting. They will not change age category within a series.

​

Prizes are awarded for the following age categories:-

- U23 – 1st to 3rd place depending on the number of qualifying runners.

- Seniors (23-39 years old) – 1st to 6th place

- V40 – 1st to 3rd place

- V45 – 1st to 3rd place

- And upwards in five-year increments for as many age categories as there are qualifying runners for – from 1st to 3rd place.

​

Senior prizes are awarded up to 6th place due to covering a seventeen-year age band, compared to the narrower junior and veteran runner categories.

Teams Scoring:

There are five different teams’ competitions that exist in the LRRL, which have different numbers of

runners required to score:

​

1. Male (six to score – all ages eligible)

2. Female (four to score – all ages eligible)

3. Veteran Male (four to score – 40+ years old)

4. Veteran Female (three to score – 40+ years old)

5. Mixed (eight to score – four males and four females – all ages eligible)

A scoring team is the first number of specified runners over the line for a club – it is not set in

advance of a race.
