Age Graded Results:

Age grading is a way of putting all race participants on a level playing field, regardless of age or gender. Age graded scores let you compare your race times to those of different runners, as well as to the standard for your age and gender. The Runner’s World Age Graded Calculator was used for calculating these times. Times were calculated only for overall and age group winners.
