IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION
IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR TOMORROW'S SANTA RACE!
Hello runners,
Due to very recent construction along the race route, tomorrow's race will now start and end at the Royal Hamilton Yacht Club.
All races will still start at the same time, but instead of finishing at Williams, the route will now end at the yacht club.
Race START Address: Royal Hamilton Yacht Club - 555 Bay st. N
Race Start Times (remain the same):
9:15AM - 1KM Race Start
10:00AM - 5KM/10KM Race Start
Race END Address: Royal Hamilton Yacht Club - 555 Bay st. N
Following the race, runners are still welcome and encouraged to head down the road to Williams where you can enjoy a free breakfast and hot chocolate/coffee. All you have to do is show your race bib. Williams is only a short walk/drive down the road from the Yacht Club where the race is taking place.
Thank you for you understanding, we look forward to seeing you all tomorrow at the Yacht Club.
