The course is fast and flat with a 5 km loop run twice for the 10 km distance allowing great viewing opportunities for both participants and spectators.

The course is laid out entirely within the boundaries of the historic RCMP Academy, Depot Division (commonly known as "Depot").

With a proud heritage of over 100 years, Depot is the only location where the RCMP trains its cadets.

Don't miss this unique and exciting opportunity to run with the troops at the Home of the RCMP!
