Coaches, clubs and athletes are also encouraged to consider athletes’ development alongside these new specifications. Athletes are encouraged to try turbo javelin, cardboard hurdles, 150m races etc. whilst they develop their skills and progress within the sport as they grow up.

Off Track

For those competing in off-track disciplines (cross country, hill, trail and road), new maximum distances have been set for the new age groups, along with recommended maximum distances each age group should compete over to promote their long-term development. Please consider these when registering for a race or when planning an event yourself.
