All races begin and end at the Timmins Regional Athletic and Soccer Complex.
The half-marathon course is unique to Northern Ontario. Participants will venture through the streets leading to the south of the city; through Schumacher; along Gillies Lake (marking the half-way point) and then onto our beautiful nature trail system. Each kilometre will be marked to ensure your pace. One last challenging hill brings you to a victory lap at the Complex.
The 5 km race will follow the Mattagami River through scenic trails.
The 2 km race will begin with a lap at the Complex, follow Gillies Street, continue a bit on Poplar Avenue and return to the Complex for a final effort to the finish line.
