As of January 1st, 2026, these age categories will apply to all athletes, for all events.
Athletes may only compete within their own age-group for individual track and field competitions.  For cross-country, an athlete may compete in the age group directly above their current age (an U9 can compete in the U10 race, but not the U11, etc).
At relay races, a team of 4 must have at least two members from within the age-group of the race, but up to two form the age directly below can run on that team, when required.
