Final rankings are published shortly after the year ends, and a new season begins each January.
The National League ranking is calculated by country during the same calendar year.

Your National League score: 1500
If you race more than 3 National League races, your 3 best scores will be considered for the final ranking!
Final rankings for each National League season are published shortly after the end of the calendar year, once all results have been processed.

Yes, a runner can be ranked in national leagues in multiple countries as long as he/she meets the requirement of 3 races completed in each of those countries.
Runners remain in the same age category for the entire National League year.
Age categories are determined by the age a runner will be at the end of the calendar year.
If a runner moves into a new age category during the year, they will be placed in that category from the start of the season.
Rankings may be updated after results are published to reflect corrections, merged profiles, or updated result files. Your current ranking always reflects the most accurate and up-to-date information held by ITRA.
To help ensure your results are correctly assigned, please make sure your results are linked to the correct runner profile by using your ITRA ID where possible, providing accurate information to race organisers, and requesting a profile merge if duplicates exist.
