There are four races, with no age limits, but here are some guidelines:
· 5km: for the little ones, mostly below 10 (with their parents, if they are much younger)
· 15km: for all ages, particularly suitable for kids aged about 11 to 14, or younger if accompanied by a parent
· 30km: for those reasonably fit including kids over about 14, or younger if accompanied by a parent. The winner will take about 1hr 30min, but you have 4hrs until the prize-giving ..
· 60km: for the seriously fit
