● Both the men’s and women’s age categories are 40-49 for veterans, 50-59 for masters and 60-69 for grandmasters.
● An athlete can win only one incentive per calendar year per distance for WP records, i.e. if an athlete sets two 10 km records, two 15 km records and one half-marathon record, he/she will receive three incentive payments.
● From 2008 prize money will be awarded at WP Championships, plus incentives and medals.
7. Special incentive races
Each year a number of races will be selected as “special incentive races” for which the normal incentives will be paid.
The selected races for 2008 are:
10 km: Brackenfell (23 January)
Telkom (29 March)
Eskom (5 November)
15 km: Ravensmead (26 July)
Avbob (13 December)
21.1 km: Peninsula (17 February)
Fairbridge Mall (4 May)
The WP Championships for 2008 are:
10 km: UWC (31 May)
15 km: Constantia Village (8 March)
21.1 km: Fairbridge Mall (4 May)
42.2 km: Winelands (22 November)
8. Bonus incentives
If a runner achieves as best performance any of the following incentive totals in the WP Championships plus the seven special incentive races, he/she will earn bonus incentives as shown:
5 or more Grade A times: R1 000
5 or more Grade B times: R750
5 or more Grade C times: R500
These bonus incentives will not be limited to a calendar year, i.e. the minimum of five performances can be set over any period. As soon as the athlete accumulates five qualifying times, the incentive is paid and the athlete then starts from zero again. The lowest incentive will be paid in each case, i.e. if an athlete achieves four Grade B and one Grade C times, he/she will receive R500; two Grade A and three Grade B times will earn R750.
