shouldn't this be somewhat standard?

 Race #1:
3k Run/Walk

There will be awards for the top 2 males and the top 2 females in the following age groups:
12 and under, 13-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70 and up.

 

Race #2:
Individual prizes will be given out for both races for Men’s and Women’s overall 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finish and most funds raised. Prizes will also be given to 1st place in each age and gender group as well. (I had to search for the breakdown on ages) 01-15; 16 to 19; 20 -29 and then every ten yrs after that.

 

Race #3
Ages 5 to 9; 10 to 14; 15 to 19; and 5 yr increments after that.....

Imsorry but I don't know what you're asking exactly. And as I've never run in a race I have no clue how they group ages. Last I ran was in track in highschool

 Sorry.
In the first race Garrett (12 yrs old) was in 12 and under

The second race Garrett is in the up to 15 yrs old

The third race he is in was aes 10 to 14.

 

So three different races and 3 different age groups.

Weird.

He is running in the same type of race? I guess if its all for different groups or organizations that's why they don't have a standard age grouping.

 Races 2 and 3 were both 5K's, one was the Carol M. Baldwin Run for Their Lives breast cancer research; and the other was the local Kiwianas (sp) Thanksgiving race

The first one is the Mountain Goat that both him and my 9 yr old are running on Sunday. Which is a 3K.
