USAT’s “Age Up” Policy:

An athlete's age for any USAT sanctioned race will be his/her age as of Dec. 31, 2009 . The age he/she is on 12/31 will determine his/her 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: Joey Smith is 6 and will turn 7 on November 20, 2009.

Joey will be considered 7 for all 2009 races – and will race in the 7-8 age group at all 2009 races.

Sally Jones is 12 and will turn 13 on July 3, 2009.
Sally will be considered 13 for all 2009 races – and will race in the 13-14 age group at all 2009 races.

This same policy applies to the all race categories in all of the BAH races
