Ado-race

The Ado-Race philosophy

In “Ado-Race,” the word “Race” is significant, since it stands for “ Race .” An “ Race ” has a performance-based objective: physical, time-based, and technical. We emphasize this, so the teens must “run” the entire course—or nearly so (as some climbs can be steep or technically challenging)! The course is a “real” trail run, so it’s demanding, and you need to be used to steep trails—which can even be slippery depending on the weather!

Here are the FFA categories that MaXi must follow for 2027:
• U12: Individuals born between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2017 “Race eXperience” (un timed) –
• U14: Individuals born between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2015
• U16: Participants born between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2013
• U18: Participants born between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2011

Discovery trail

This “ Race ” will not be an “ Race ” in the strict sense, but rather a discovery course. There will be no timing for this U12 category. It serves as an intermediate step between the untimed “Mini-Race” events and the timed “Ado-Race” events. 

PLEASE NOTE: For this Race, you do not need a Health Prevention Pass number. You will need to provide us with a physical copy of parental authorization when you pick up your Bibs.
