Yes, if you are 15 years old or younger we
have a mini-extreme course you can call your own! As a result of
numerous requests we now offer a Kids Death Race run during the
Canadian Death Run in August. The course is approximately 5km long on
wilderness trails, with one big mud pit, which everyone must wade
through, and one big hill that comes near the end of the course. If you
can get mom and dad to sign off on your Death Warrant (waiver), which
is not an easy thing to do, this is the best way we know
to introduce youngsters to the sport of adventure racing (the course is
closely supervised by adults).
Age Groups are recognized as follows: 9 and under, 10 to 12 years old,
and 13 to 15 years old. Early Reistration fee is $25 (Late is $45 minus
$5 if you register on-line) and includes a T-shirt, a Kids Race Kit
Goody Bag and usually assorted other goodies like a water bottle etc.
Any one making the cut-off time (90 minutes for
5km) is a winner and will receive a Death Race finisher’s medal! Ice
cream will be served at the finish line! Parents may
accompany their children on the wilderness portion of the trail.
Children must start and finish on their own. The kids are required to
carry their own
food and water for the entire race - there are no aid stations. Please
note
that at this time there is no biking or snowshoe race for the kids.
