Technical Info
Course / Category System for 1997+
This Information and Tables describe the course/category
system that was approved by the COF at the November 1996 AGM.
(Note the information on this web site is copied from a fax and
it has not been officially verified by COF officials).
Features of the new system:
- "Recommended Course Winning
Time" (rather than distance) is the primary factor
in determining a course's length; references to distances
has been eliminated.
- Includeds a standard system for
contracting down to six courses when this is required
- 10 year age groups for masters
(starting at 35); 3 year age groups for 17-19 year olds;
- specifies recommended course
winning times for each day of a 1 day and 2 day classic
race and for short distance races
- Changes to terminology: the terms
"age-based categories" and "other
categories" are used (rather than terms such like
"competitive", "recreational", and
"open".
