Competition Rules
The rules for gender-based athletic competition are evolving and changing rapidly and these policies are being driven by local and international governing bodies. There are no right and wrong answers but at Running Events, we are taking a simple and pragmatic approach to gender based competition rules.

  • We will operate our competitions on the basis of two gender categories; Female and Male/Open.
  • Participants who select the "Gender Diverse" option will be placed into the Open/Male competition. This is because - at this time - our Female competition categories are reserved for competition amongst those identifying themselves as Female.
  • There will be no checks made, nor evidence required, to support the selection made by any participants. Running Events respects the right of all participants to select the Gender category they feel is most appropriate for them.
  • As with all of our competition rules, your acceptance of the entry waiver includes your agreement that - in all disputes - the decision of the Race Director shall be final.
