It would be great to change/add the age groups as well as round up some medals for the youngsters:) Wow, those boys are little studs for wanting to compete in a half marathon....I am impressed:) Good luck!!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01016242849142019105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061476672427195988.post-26465043852332869082010-02-18T18:11:04.539-05:002010-02-18T18:11:04.539-05:00Great points.

They likely assume kids are there with mom or dad. <br /><br />It would be a great help to motivate kids to be more active and these days we can use all of that we can get! If the 70 year old gets credit for showing up then so should the 7 year old. Likely the 7 year old would get more out of an award as well. Thanks for bringing this up. Let's hope it does some good:)The Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10146223883009444708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061476672427195988.post-69793049939797554672010-02-18T18:00:50.685-05:002010-02-18T18:00:50.685-05:00I love your letter; I hope it makes race directors...I love your letter; I hope it makes race directors think about this more! It's not often that you see age groups younger than 19 but there needs to be!

If it were a matter of money another option would be to extend the higher end of the age bracket to ten year sections. i.e. 60-69 instead of 60-64 & 65-69...Georgia Snailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04605735988408411210noreply@blogger.com
