RACE GRADING		The Race Grading Scheme is designed and administered by BARR in conjunction with UKA

Road Races and Multi-Terrain Grading

Eligibility

Any event, which has been issued with a UKA RACE LICENCE, having signed off to the UKA Licence Standards, is eligible to apply for a grade.

Costs

A grading fee is payable for each application and graded events are also required to reimburse the expenses of scrutineers.

The basis of awarding grades

The questions on the application form are subjected to a standard scoring procedure and a grade is awarded (or not) according to the score obtained. Although all grades are, in the first instance, awarded solely on trust from the application paperwork there is provision for confirmation by "at race" scrutiny.

Number and title of the grades

There are 3 grades, in descending order, Gold, Silver and Bronze.

Events are issued with a grade certificate plus the appropriate logo which must be added to all race literature.
