Results for the Road Race...We intend to post both Age Graded Results and the "regular" results (in the order that the runners come across the finish line). Awards will be presented to the Top 10 "Age Graded Results" and to the top team. (A team is 4 or more 5K runners registered with the same team name.)
We believe Age Graded Awards (awards base on age graded performance instead of based on when you crossed the finish line relative to others) are much more encouraging for all runners, a much more fair way to distribute recognition and awards, and for race directors it eliminates waste - you are not buying awards for divisions that may have one or no participants.
"Age Graded Results" Further Explained...If you ran a race and your "age graded" performance was 60%, the theoretical best possible performance for your age and gender is approximately 60% of the time you ran. (So if your time was 50.00 for a race, the theoretical best performance for your age & gender in this particular race is 0.60 x 50.00 = 30.00). In other words the closer to 100.0% your age graded performance is, the closer you are to obtaining the theoretical best time for your age and gender.
Data for every standard race distance is used to compute the theoretical best possible performance for your age and gender. There is one standard for Male and one for Female. For every one-year age, there is a performance factor - based on empirical data of how performance varies with age.
Many thanks to the Hartford Track Club for their explanations and guidance.
Sincerely, - The Salem Lions Club |
