Early Odds Posted
There are entrants from six different countries, including Japan, Russia, Great Britian and, of course, Peru. Furthermore, the entry list features several eager youngsters, looking to cover the entire course. "We have three teenagers in men's open," said race director Greg Henderson, "including an 11-year old racer. Our women's open division has at least one teenager, and there is a nine-year old trekker. If he completes the course, he'll be the youngest ever Patch Sprinter!" (See Full Lineup)
Henderson, and the event planning committee want to insure that everyone, regardless of age, participates in the proper division, and at the most appropriate starting time. "With our rising numbers and all of the different divisions, people can understandably be confused."
Hopefully, this will clear some things up:
10 and under: Must be chaperoned and may enter the Kindersprint, or trek the course.
11-17: May race or trek the course with a guardian, chaperone or "buddy".
18-39: May trek; or race in the open or clydesdale division.
40 and over: May take part in any division (except KinderSprint)
