Race Categories
The UK Athletics Rules for Competition (1st April 2008) at
www.ukathletics.net
state the following:(1) An “official UKA Fell Race” is one held under UKA Rules for Competition.(2) A fell race is one run on fell, hill or mountain terrain and shall be categorised as follows:
Category A
(a) Should average not less than 76m (250 feet) of climb per 1.6km (mile).(b) Should not have more than 20% of race distance on road.(c) Should be at least 1.6km (one mile) in length.
Category B
(a) Should average not less than 38m (125 feet) of climb per 1.6km (mile).(b) Should not have more than 30% of race distance on road.
Category C
(a) Should average not less than 30.4m (100 feet) of climb per 1.6km (mile).(b) Should not have more than 40% of race distance on road.(c) Should contain some genuine fell terrain.
Race Length Categories
(a) Category 
L
(long) race is 19.3km (12 miles) or over in length.(b) Category 
M
(medium) race is 9.6km (6 miles) and over but less than 19.3km (12 miles).(c) Category 
S
(short) race is under 9.6km (6 miles) in length.So, e.g., Ben Nevis is category “AM”, because it has 96m of climb per km, and is 14km long.
 Junior age limits
UKA Rule 410 states that Race Organisers must stipulate age limits for their events. Many shorter races are suitable for juniors or have separate courses for juniors. UKA Rule410 specifies the maximum length of course that juniors are permitted to race:Under 123 kmOver 12/Under 145 kmOver 14/Under 166 kmOver 16/Under 1810 kmMinimum age limits are stated for each race in the Calendar. Age groups are defined by the runner’s age on 1 January 2009.
N.B. So as an example, when a race states “Over 12”, this means that the race is only for runners who were 12 years of age or over on the 1st January (i.e., born in1996 or earlier).
There may be races where the organiser sets more restrictive age limits than those stated above – for example where there is a lot of climb or rough terrain. These age limitsare stated in the Calendar where known, but you are always advised to check with the race organiser before travelling.If you would like a copy of the Junior Hill Running Race Calendar 2009, which is a separate listing of all hill races suitable for juniors, then please contact the Secretary (addressabove).
