This Spring The Herd Racing League is bringing back age group racing! This is your chance to compare yourself to riders that are the same age. It doesn’t matter if you have passed the spring chicken stage only recently or a little longer ago, this is a race for you.

No Spring Chickens is an age group category race and each category will start in its own pen, although all riders will be visible on the road. The age group categories will be:

A: 70+
B: 60-69
C: 50-59
D: 40-49
E: under 40

Note that this is based on being able to enforce category entry by age, but in doing so we are limited to 5 age groups. Also, note that categorization is based off your birthday, so you will move up between weeks if you have a birthday that week.

Power ups are Feather, Draft Van, Anvil. For now, all races will be basic scratch races. First to the line wins.

League standings
We will create a league so that riders can compare themselves against similar age groups across the race times. Otherwise, each week will be run as single races. This will allow us to test age group limits, the popularity of time slots and formats. Once we know that we have a critical mass of interested riders, we may institute some type of league scoring.

Weekly results that will also be posted on the Herd Racing Facebook page and on Discord.
