Age Grading

Updated 16 Feb 2008

The Age-Graded Tables are compiled by the World Association of Veteran Athletes (WAVA) and publised by National Masters News, PO Box 2372, Van Nuys, CA 91404. They enable you to "quickly and easily compare performances at different ages and in different events".
They can be ordered from the National Masters News website (when you get there, click on "Ordering" then click on "Bookstore") at a cost of $6.00 plus $3.00 postage for USA or $6.00 postage for outside USA
The latest printed edition (as at January 2006) was published August 1994
However the tables were updated between 2002 and 2004 and a version is available in Excel from Alan Jones website - thanks to Graham Coleman from Hampshire Road Race League for this information
