COVID-19 Policy
What we are guaranteeing for your entry:
If the race is cancelled due to COVID-19, your entry will be deferred to 2024.
If you are unable to attend due to a self-assessment, your entry will be deferred to 2024 for a $100 fee. Apply through an online form by race start.
If you do not attend for any other reason (eg. injury, weather), your entry will not be deferred.
What protocols are in place:
We are following Athletics Ontario guidelines and working with Region of Waterloo Public Health to develop a detailed plan which follows the latest guidance.
Full vaccination is required, effective masks before and after the race are critical, be vigilant with your distancing, and maintain usual good hygiene and screening. Any protocol changes will be updated and shared as soon as they are known.
Outdoor gathering restrictions for private events do not apply to events with these detailed protocols.
In some ways, this will be a simpler race experience than the 2022 year. We are still proceeding with caution.
Charity of your Choice
If you are motivated to run The ENDURrun to support a charity of personal significance, we would love to help. With a minimum pledge total of $2,000 to a registered charity of your choice, The ENDURrun will refund your entry fee. This opportunity is available for 2 participants in 2023. Contact Lloyd to claim one. More information here.
One spot has been claimed by Wayne Young who will be raising funds for the Terry Fox Foundation.
Food, Refreshments and Course Support
For on course support, we will have aid stations supplied with water and Gatorade. Limited gels will be available, but it is recommended that you bring your own. Since fueling is of the utmost importance and varies from person to person, please do not rely on your preferred brand or flavour being available.
Post race, we will provide a variety of muffins, protein bars, fruit, yogurt and snacks. It is recommended that you bring sufficient food to keep your strength up for the duration of the event.
