RUNNER ASPIRATIONS - TEAM CATERPILLAR club STANDARDS
Club Age Grade Standards
Introducing a set of age grade standards based on the WMA (World Masters Athletics) that all members can use to set their own challenges. These club standard times have been established to motivate and inspire all members, allowing them to pursue their runner aspirations and set individual goals. As you meet these goals, you will receive digital certificates of achievement. Awards are granted when you successfully achieve the standard across 3 distances.
How It Works:
Set your own challenge by aiming for the club standard times across 3 distances (January-December). Results must come from officially measured races (UKA/licensed races or Parkruns). Submit your results to our club email (screenshots are fine) and unlock digital certificates as you hit each milestone! Achieve Diamond Standard, and you’ll receive special recognition at our Annual Awards presentation.

RUNNER ASPIRATIONS - PATHFINDER
The England Athletics Pathfinder
The Pathfinder has been developed as a guide to help runners mark significant milestones in their personal journey—whether it’s completing a 5k, a 10k fun run, or tackling a marathon. It also serves as a tool to understand age grade standards, ensuring you set realistic and achievable runner aspirations.
Why Pathfinder?
A Pathfinder is someone who explores new challenges and inspires others by showing them a pathway forward. We believe that by striving for personal progress and setting new goals, you not only grow and push your own boundaries but also motivate others to do the same.
How to Use the Pathfinder
The Pathfinder is designed as a progression tool, allowing you to track your achievements and see how far you've come. While it’s not a formal award system, it offers digital certificates to celebrate your personal milestones and inspire the next steps in your running journey.
Linking with England Athletics PB Awards
For those looking to move towards more formal athletics competition, the Pathfinder aligns with the England Athletics PB Awards, providing a natural connection as you work towards officially recognized achievements.
Start marking your milestones, and see where the path leads!
