Race Day Information
Please Review!
Who's excited to be back to in person racing? We sure are! Even though it won't be exactly the same as previous years, it will still be fun!
Race Location - Island Lake Conservation Area - click for address
Early Kit Pickup - available at the parking lot in front of Cycling Elements from 10am to 2pm on Sunday, September 5.
Race Day Kit Pickup - available at Island Lake race site beginning at 7:30am
Entry into the park is free for Race participants and Volunteers. Please follow marshals for parking instructions - LOT P2 for runners.
There will be no race day registrations. If you need to change your distance, you can do so at the registration table on race morning.
Social gathering rules are in effect therefore we ask that you limit bringing spectators to the race. Mask wearing is required if you cannot be 2 metres apart (indoors and out). The safety of our volunteers and runners is key and we want to set the best possible example moving forward!
A Covid Questionnaire will be emailed to all runners and volunteers soon - please complete it before you arrive on Monday.
Race day timeline - 5K waves begin at 8:30am, 10K waves begin @ 9:30am
Waves will not be pre-assigned with no more than 25 runners per wave and the waves will be 6-7 minutes apart. We ask that you wear a mask in the start chute and at the water stations.
We recommend that faster runners start in first wave. Any 10K'ers requiring more than 90 minutes to finish may start in the earlier 5K waves (just not the first wave). Bike marshals will only lead the first waves. Course is marked with colour coordinated flags that match your bib colour. We recommend that you carry your own water to reduce contact at water stations.
Be sure to thank our awesome volunteers when you see them because without them, there is no race!
See you on race day!
