Clydesdale and Bonnydale Competition

Since 1986 the marathon has recognized that larger, heavier participants are at a disadvantage when competing against lighter counter parts. To meet the challenge the Clydesdale and Bonnydale divisions have been established. Categories include:

39 and under and 40 and over for:
Men	Women
185-199	145-159
200-224	160-179
225-249	180+
250-299
300+

In addition there are "Pump and Run" divisions where participants may bench press weights at the Hilton during the packet pickup. A formula of weight pressed at the time of completion is used to determine winners.

39 and under and 40 and over for:
Men		Women
185-199	Bench 205	145-159	Bench 110
200-224	Bench 215	160-179	Bench 115
225-249	Bench 225	180+	Bench 120
250-299	Bench 235
300+	Bench 250

Those interested in these divisions must officially sign up for the competition at the Portland Hilton during packet pickup. Look for signs in the main Expo room. There is a special $5.00 entry fee. Award winners known at the time of the awards ceremony will be announced. Awards are sent to winners after the event.
