Age Group Checker

From 1 January 2026, the sport’s age groups will begin to change to under-even (U12, U14 etc.) in Scotland, with an athlete’s age group calculated based on their year of birth. This change comes in prior to the publication of the next edition of the UKA rule book on 1 April 2026 to allow athletes competing indoors during Winter 2025/26 to participate within their new age group as they prepare for the Summer 2026 season. Off track events in the winter of 2025/26 will not be affected, with the new age groups for road and cross country coming into effect at the beginning of the 2026/27 cross country season.

The calculator below will help you to calculate your/your child’s age group for the current and upcoming competition seasons for track and field, road running and cross country.The competition year for all of these disciplines runs Autumn-Summer.
