Remember that according to USAT rules, you must race the age you WILL turn in 2015. So, if your birthday is later than our race day, you will still have to race "up". If you will turn 10 on May 4 through December 31, you will have to race as a 10 year old on May 3rd. Also, if you will turn 16 sometime in 2015, you will be too old for our race, but you can race in the other races RACE Rome puts on throughout the year!
