Final answer:

The article was proofread for subject-verb disagreements and three corrections were made: 'they was' corrected to 'they were'; 'event that cover' corrected to 'event that covers'; and 'contest that wind' corrected to 'contest that winds'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Organizers of the very first Lake Garda race report that all but 500 of the 15,000 places have now sold out, just a month after they were first released to the public. For anyone itching to be the very first winner, there are only days left to get your entry in.

Prices range from $55 to $75, with riders attempting either of two challenges: a grueling, 168-kilometer event that covers the most difficult terrain, or a slightly less testing, but no less enjoyable, 84-kilometer contest that winds its way along the scenic shores of Lake Garda on April 12th/13th. Starting near the port, both events will conclude in the picturesque lakeside town of Brenzone where the official awards ceremonies will occur.
