What we are guaranteeing for your entry:
If the race is cancelled due to COVID-19, your entry will be deferred to 2025.

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 not required at this time, and masking, social distancing, good hygiene and screening are always good measures. 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 pre-covid years. We are still proceeding with caution.
