1. Races of standard distances should be measured with a Jones Counter and
should be certified for accuracy.
2. The race director will have the final say in any and all issues that may arise as a result of the race.
3. The I.R.R.S. age groups for both men and women, for both the road series and the cross country series will be as follows:
U 16
16-19
20-29
30-34
35-39
40-44
45-49
50-54
55-59
60-64
65-69
70-74
75-79
80-84
4. For both the road racing and the cross-country series, all runners shall compete in the same age division all year. Accordingly, ages for all runners will be recorded as their age as of Dec 31, of the year. (Prior to 2008 a runner's age was determined by their age as of the day of the last race of each series.)
5. It is necessary that all entrants in each series race be covered by BCA
insurance. Runners who do not have a BCA recreational or competitive card must
pay an additional $3.00 with each race entry in order to receive a Day of Race
card. Two thirds of the monies collected via this must be sent to B.C. Athletics
to cover liability insurance.
6. At the Race Director's discretion, races will have a Day of Race late entry
fee.
7. Host clubs must submit a copy of race results to the email address below as soon after their race as possible. This is very important for accurate maintenance of series results. Ron Sherk (ronsherk@yahoo.ca)
8. Host clubs must pay $0.75 for each finisher in both the I.R.A. road and
cross country series. This money goes towards advertising, administration, and
awards for the series. (Prior to 2008 the cross country fee was $0.50.)
9. All races must use the Canadian Tire custom-printed race numbers with tear-off
tags. Contact Sherry Maligaspe (250-374-8492 maligaspe@shaw.ca)
for the quantity you require for your event. Clubs must pay 50 cents for each
number ordered.
