Athletes are not permitted to compete in more than one age group in the same event. Athletes may compete up one age group (providing they are eligible under Rule1.2 If they do so they are not permitted to also compete in their own age. Example: a 17 year old boy may compete in the 19 years shot put but cannot also compete in the 17 years shot put. For the purpose of this rule the following events are considered to be the same event: 3000m & 5000m; straight hurdles; 200m hurdles and 400m hurdles; 3000m Walk & 5000m Walk.  

Spikes can be worn in all track events (yes, including distance events), jumps and javelin throw. 

This is 9mm for track events and 11mm for Javelin/High Jump.

Para athletes whose classifications don’t mandate them using blocks, are exempt from this rule.
