Race Divisions

Race Divisions are a combination of the following:

  • Racer Category
  • Age
  • Gender
  • Bike Type

For example, a Solo 50 – 59 year old Male is different from a Solo under 50 Male, etc.

Racer Categories are:

  • Solo Racers – one Racer racing/riding the entire distance
  • 2 – Person Team – two Racers sharing the entire distance
  • 4 – Person Team – four Racers sharing the entire distance
  • 5-8 – Person Team – between five and eight Racers sharing the entire distance
  • Tandems – tandems are considered “2 – Racers” on one bike in this context.  One Tandem would be in the 2 – Person category, two Tandems would be in the 4 – Person Tandem Team Category, etc.

Age Categories are:

  • Under 50
  • 50 – 59
  • 60 – 69
  • 70 – 74
  • 75 – 79
  • 80+

Racing Age is the age each Racer will turn during the calendar year of the race (year of race minus birth year).

  • Solos:  Age is the racing age of the Racer
  • Teams:  Age is the average racing age of all Team members
  • There are no age categories for 5-8 – Person Teams

Gender Categories are:

  • Men
  • Women
  • Mixed – indicates there is at least one male and one female member with the exception of Tandem Teams, which must have an equal (50/50) number of males and females
