Question 1

1) What age groups do you award at your events?

Accepted Answer

At Everyone Runs we always do 5-year age group awards starting with 5-9 and up to 80+. If we have very few runners in the younger and older age groups, we will adjust the age groups on race day. For instance, 80+, rather than 80-84 if there are only 2-3 runners in that age group.

At Everyone Runs we give you your choice of materials:  technical or cotton. We always provide male and female sizes!

CATALINA STATE PARK
Located on Oracle Rd., about a mile north of 1st Avenue. Here you can take a run on the two-mile paved road and then wind your way up one of the many well-marked trails.

There are bathrooms and water at the beginning and end of the main road, and some around the campgrounds.
