Veteran Records

For a veteran record to count, the following criteria must be met:

  • The race was run by a first or second claim member of Hyde Park Harriers
  • The race was run on a course certified by UKA (i.e. it shows on Power of Ten)
  • The athlete must have run as a representative of Hyde Park Harriers (i.e. wearing club kit and appearing in the official results as a Hyde Park Harrier)
  • The athlete must have been the age relevant to the relevant category at the time of the race (e.g. at least 40 to set a veteran record in the 40+ category) – please note that records will apply to all categories which the athlete belongs to (e.g. if a 47 year old athlete runs a 5K time which is quicker than both the existing 45+ and 40+ category records, the new 5K record will apply to both of those categories)
  • The athlete must notify the club committee and provide evidence if they believe they have set or broken a veteran record
  • parkrun courses will not count towards the 5K times (as participants will not usually run in club kit and courses are not always distance-certified)
  • No differentiation is made between track and road courses – whilst we appreciate they are slightly different disciplines, the relatively infrequent involvement of the club in track events would make separate records disproportionate

The records have been prepared based on information available to the committee – if you believe any of the records below are incorrect or have been broken, please do let us know.
