FOR YOUR ADDITIONAL SAFETY
We are pleased to announce that we will have a group of bicyclists to help guide you along the way! They will be at the head of the pack to lead you, middle of the pack and end to ensure everyone's safety. Special THANKS to Rob, Zane & their team at Trek Algonquin for donating their time! Check out their shop in Algonquin at 2379 S. Randall Road in Algonquin. We will also have some safety cones in certain areas to assist in guiding our runners and keeping them safe which are provided by our Algonquin Public Works team. Additionally, the Algonquin Police and EMT will be there to assist! We cannot THANK each of them enough for what they do for our community! THANK YOU all for helping to make our race safe & fun!
Your finish time results will be posted during the race at the results link on this page.
It is the runner's responsibility to review the course map prior to the event. In addition to volunteers helping to direct the runners, we will have the streets & path marked with mile marker signs, directional signs as well as street spray painted* arrows to help guide you.
