USATF Masters Long Distance Running Awards/Rankings Performance Guidelines

Each year USA Track & Field (USATF) presents Long Distance Masters of the Year awards to athletes in 5-year age divisions and also develops year-end age division rankings.   To assist in this process, Awards/Rankings Performance Guidelines have been developed that a runner must exceed in order to have their performances reviewed and considered for the year-end awards and rankings.  The Performance Guidelines have been recently updated from previously published guidelines.
