In the event of a draw for Champion, the results of those drawing will be extended to include one further result until a clear champion is established.

IMPORTANT: The ‘Junior categories’ include an extensive age and developmental range and this must be considered when selecting events to compete in. A good guideline is the UKA rules which advise age (on day of race) and maximum race distance as follows: +11 to 13 years 4,000m; +13 to 15 years 6,000m; +15 years 10,000m; +16 years 16,000m; +17 years 25,000m; and +18 years marathon. Here in UAE further consideration must also be given to the extremes of temperature that can be encountered. If you are unsure of your ability or your child’s ability to race over certain distances please consult with ABRaS juniors coach.
