Wyo Road Racing Championships

4 by 5K relay & 20K individual

June 8, 2002

The Wyoming Road Racing Championships utilized age graded scoring. This scoring system attempts to compensate for the fact that ones performance improves during early years (from 8 year up to 20 years old) and declines during aging (post 34 years old).

The age graded tables were researched and compiled by the World Association of Veteran Athletes (WAVA). In general WAVA has compiled world records set by men and women in various events. For example, for the 5K, the men's Open Class (ages 19 to 34) record is 12:58. The men's 'record' for an 8 year old in the 5K is 16:29, and the men's 'record' for a 70 year old is 17:36. Based on these records for each age we can calculate a Men's Age Graded Time.

For the 5K, the women's Open Class (ages 20 to 33) record is 14:23. The women's 'record' for an 8 year old in the 5K is 18:30, and the women's 'record' for a 70 year old is 20:38. Based on these records for each women's age we can calculate a Women's Age Graded Time.

In order to compare Men to Women or to compare the performance in different distance events we calculate the Performance Level Percentage. For example, to do this for a 50 year old male 5k'er, we first calculate his Age Graded Time, then we divide the Men's 5K Open Class Record by this age graded time to get a Performance Level Percentage (PLP). A PLP of 100% would indicate a World Record level performance. A PLP over 90% = World Class, over 80% = National Class, over 70% = Regional Class, over 60% = Local Class.
