COVID-19 Policy

If you do not attend due to self-assessment, you can defer your entry for a $15 deferral fee by e-transfer to info@runwaterloo.com by 3pm on September 11, 2022. If the race is cancelled due to COVID-19, then your entry is deferred to 2023 at no cost. (Until July 11th midnight, all signups had free deferrals included in their participant waiver.)

Participants are encouraged to use their own discretion and take health measures as appropriate: screen, distance, personal hygiene, mask, vaccinate, etc. These are voluntary measures that, under current guidelines, will not be enforced. Run Waterloo will take additional measures to reduce touchpoints that will be communicated to participants.

Run Waterloo took two full years off of running live events, and when we came back, it was with a successful event in February 2022 (read more here). Our work with the Region of Waterloo Public Health and Athletics Ontario is to ensure, as much as we can, that these events are safe, responsible, and enriching to people and the community at large.

Course Details and Information

Course Map: https://www.mappedometer.com/?maproute=905334

This race is sanctioned by Athletics Ontario

Course features:

The 5 KM route will be one loop. The 10 KM event does two loops of the 5 KM route.

The entire course route will be run through the grounds of the Ken Seiling Waterloo Region Museum and the paved bike paths through Homer Watson Park.

Each KM is marked and is clearly visible. Water Stations: 2 on the 5 KM course / 4 on the 10 KM course. Courses are certified distances. Courses are subject to change pending official approval, course certifications, or construction issues.

The loop is approximately 30% gravel and 70% paved pathway, with a short grass section.

About 30% of the course (including the start/finish) is on the private property of the Doon Heritage Village, and is not publicly accessible without paid entry.

Runners must stay to the left on all paved sections.

Volunteers and participants can park at the Waterloo Regional Museum.

No animals allowed, other than service animals.

Time Limit:

The time limit to complete the course is calculated at 10 minutes per kilometer. Starting at the half way mark, if a participant does not reach a km mark by this calculated time, the participant may be required to continue unassisted by race support. Participants are asked to familiarize themselves with the course route if this situation might be a possibility to them. We wish to minimize the disruption caused by our event to the Ken Seiling Waterloo Region Museum and Homer Watson Park. We value their support, and trust you understand our position.
