Nobody Left Behind!

Patch 2010 has a Division for Everyone

Gonzalezs

        If you lay out the course, they will come!  From ages four to 74.... From 100 pound sprinters to 280 pound Clydedsales.... Racers.... Trekkers... Volunteers.... Kids... Partyers.  "We pride ourselves in providing a place for anyone interested in our Patch Sprint celebration weekend and reunion," boasted event marketing director Julia Backus.  "Frankly, there's no place I'd rather be for Memorial Day weekend."
     After experimenting with various race weekends, start times and divisions, the Patch Sprint Committee settled on a format in 2005 that  has been so successful that the divisions have remained the same ever since.
