Separate but Equal
Submitted by Susan B on Mon, 10/18/2010 - 10:07am
Several of the woman at the Kuna race indicated they would like some sort of separation from the guys during the races. Perhaps a 30 second or 2 minute or some amount of time between the start times would work. Might encourage more woman to come out to play.

That worked at Astoria
The fields were really big, and they had different categories on the course at the same time, and would start them off in 2 waves. What about a race where every different field is started at 30 second intervals?
At the Utah races they
At the Utah races they usually do 60 sec between starts of the different categories on the course. For example, they have the masters 55+ start, then 60 sec later the Men's Cat 4 start. The categories usually get mixed during the race but it's nice to see who is in your category at the start.
Smart
That sounds like a good idea!
Separate but Equal status
I think starting each of the separate classes within a race is a great idea, especially where the race includes so many categories (i.e. juniors, masters, women) it would be great to have separation to help the flow. I have seen this done at other races, and it works great.
