The competitions are categories by ages and sex groups. There will be competitions for runners who are between 15 to 18 years, 19 to 29 years, 30 to 39 years, 40 to 49 years, 50 to 59 years and more than 60 years for each sex.

orange31 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I wonder how they will control the traffic? I could easily see the problem of getting stuck being people, especially as everyone is hogging the railing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
