One hundred and fifty people entered the marathon race.

For this race, people under the age of 35 (including 35) join the young people's group; people from 36 to 50 years old join the middle-aged group and people 51 or over join the elderly group.

Even if it rains, the game will be played.

It's still not certain who's going to win this match.

A new team was formed in order to take part in the boat race.
