USAT Information
USAT’s “Age Up” Policy:
An athlete’s age for any USAT sanctioned race will be their age as of Dec. 31 of the race year. The age they are on 12/31 will determine their racing age group. If an athlete is due to “age-up” into the next group, it will happen at the beginning of the year, not after the athlete’s birthday.
Example: John Smith is 39 and will turn 40 on November 20.
John will be considered 40 for all of that year's races – and will race in the 40-44 age group at all of those races.
Sally Jones is 29 and will turn 30 on July 3.
Sally will be considered 30 for all of that year's races – and will race in the 30-34 age group at all of those races.
