EPIC Canadian - Run for Canada
The 2021 EPIC Canadian Run For Canada events are again hosted at Grahams Grove Park on the shores of Lake Banook in Dartmouth, starting Wednesday evening, June 30th, at 7PM with the EPIC@Night 6.1K, then Holiday Thursday morning, July 1st, at 8AM for The Maple Leaf 10K, followed at 9:30AM by The Canadian 5K.
2021 marks the return of the Mini-Moose Challenge! Complete all three distances over two days for a total of 21.1K. And of course we continue the same race format EPIC pioneered within Canada in 2014, the EPIC Double-In-A-Day: two distances, back-to-back, and the additional challenge of posting your best total time for the 15K distance as well.
Every participant completing any two (or all three) distances will receive our 2021 "It's Not Easy" challenge medal, the next letter in our CANADA medals series, this year, the letter 'N'.
All courses are accurately measured, well marked & signed, with both police and volunteer traffic control, and fully supported for both Runners and Walkers at all levels. In addition, both our 10K and 5K courses are Athletics Canada Distance Certified™. There are portable toilets and multiple water stops en route, and refreshments at the finish line - including bagels and Canada Day Cake!
Note: If you would like to pay by a method other than credit card, please send an email to: info@epiccanadian.ca

The CANADA Medals
We are excited to introduce 2020's Bonus medal design, and the third of our 'CANADA' medals, the letter 'N'. Every participant that completes two or more distances in this year's event will earn this year's "It's Not EASY" bonus medal (see the EPIC Race Feature Chart, and images of all our 2020 medals - to follow soon - not yet released).
Earning each CANADA medal is a special achievement, and we want to provide every participant a chance to partake, even if they are new to running, or need to spread their two events out over more than a single day.
If you are just starting your CANADA medal collection this year, we have two CANADA Medals Catch Up VIRTUAL RUN registration options that will allow you to earn your C medal or A medal prior to this year's event. ('C' Medal Catch Up 'A' Medal Catch Up - check graphic below for all the options) If you are running 'Virtually', at a location other than Grahams Grove in Dartmouth, it is vital you register prior to May 30th in order to to have your Virtual Kits mailed on June 10th. We will take registrations beyond this date, but you may not receive your race kits from the mail service before July 1st.

'Virtual' Race options for 2020 - Across Canada, and Beyond!
If you can't join us in person this summer, we'd love to have you join us 'virtually', from anywhere across Canada, or beyond (a question in the registration process asks for your shipping address). We pack and ship the same race kit you would receive on location: shirts, swag, medals, custom bib - all of it! But, to get your kits to you, we need to place special early orders, then have received all the material here on site, then packed and to the Post office, with time for you to receive before July 1st (our goal)
This year, that means we need you registered by May 25th (we may adjust that date as we are given final order deadlines from our suppliers). You can still register past that date, but if you miss our early order cutoffs, your gear won't arrive to us till our main order, and that means we may not get it shipped out to you till after July 1st.
So, yes, please join us, but please register early so we can get your 2020 race kit to you before July 1st!
Race Kit Pick Up Details
You will be able to pick your race kit up on Monday, June 29th from 5:30pm to 8:30pm and Tuesday, June 30th from 4:00pm to 6:00pm at the Atlantic Superstore, directly across from Graham Grove Park.
