Minimum Age

Hi

Are we applying a minimum age criteria for 2009?  Given the distances it has to be a minimum of 17 to satisfy England Athletics. 

Can I assume that we will apply a uniform restriction, inspite of the variations of distance?  Would 18 make sense?

Re: Minimum Age

In the past we (harwich) have had younger runners participating (I used to be one). I think other clubs may have as well.
We are running under a TRA permit...?

Re: Minimum Age

I've no idea, I thought TRA had nothing to do with UKA & therefore no guidelines would apply... just common sense.
David Game is the TRA man, he may know.

Re: Minimum Age

TRA are affiliated with UKA therefore we should state a 17 min age on the website.  The TRA app form also states this.

Re: Minimum Age

We should say 16 or 17 (depending on leg distance).  The entry form is universal to all legs and therefore should be applicable to all.
