Defintion for Age group
A category in a race that groups runners by age (for example 40–44) so they can be ranked and awarded against others of a similar age.
Long Definition
Age group refers to the categorization of individuals based on their age, often used in competitions to ensure fair competition among participants of similar age. In running events, age groups might be divided into categories like 20-29, 30-39, etc. This allows runners to compete against peers, making races more equitable and motivating. For example, a 35-year-old runner would compete in the 30-39 age group. Age group rankings can provide additional recognition and motivation for runners who may not compete for overall wins but excel within their age category.
