The competitive wave is for those who think they can either win the overall, or finish top three in their respective age-group. You will, of course be signed up in your age group, by registering for the Competitive Wave, you will start in the first wave, and thus be assured a "clean" start. Signing up in this wave does NOT disqualify you from age-group awards.

Friends and Family wave will simply be a less competitive, more fun wave start for those who wish to "race" with family members or friends. No penalties called--race side by side with someone perhaps racing for the first time. No awards issued from this wave and it will be the last wave to start.
