The relay can be run individually, in a team of 2, in a team of 3, or in a team of 4 people. As a team, you decide who will run which leg. Here’s a structure breakdown:
- 4 runners – each runner chooses to run 1 leg on the course.
- 3 runners – 2 runners choose 1 leg each, while 1 runner chooses to run 2 legs on the course.
- 2 runners – each runner chooses how they wish to divide the legs up on the course.
- 1 runner – runs the whole thing
Start: Behind Hyde Creek Rec Centre at the 0km marker

Leg 2 – 6.75k – Sherling Pl. to Citadel Landing (park in the parking lot on Argue Str near the corner of Shaughnessy and Mary Hill Bypass).

Race Day logistics:
- Each team is responsible for their own transportation. Travel as a team while cheering on your runner. On course support is encouraged.
- If you have registered a child under 18 yrs old, parents can run or bike with them. Please ensure that your child knows the route. You are encouraged to run/ride the route with your child beforehand so that they are familiar with where they are going.
- Teams report to Hyde Creek Rec Centre for the opening ceremonies at 8:15am. #1 runners will join the corral at the start line, while their team mates cheer them on.
- Once the race begins at 8:30am, the other team runners will make their way by vehicle to exchange point #1 at the end of Sherling Ave. Park in the parking lot by Tinhouse Brewing. If this is an exchange point for your team, the #2 runner will then get ready for the tag and begin their leg #2 run. If your #1 runner is continuing to exchange point #2, give them some encouragement!!
- If your #1 runner just finished, gather them and your team then head to exchange point #2 on Argue Str. Park in the parking lot just off the Mary Hill Bypass and Shaughnessy.
- Once the exchange point #2 tag has been made, gather your team and head to exchange point #3. Off Reeve Str., park at Riverside Secondary in the north parking lot and walk up the back lane between the forest and the soccer/baseball fields up onto the Poco Trail for your final exchange.
- After the exchange, make your way back to the start/finish line at Hyde Creek Rec Centre and enjoy the amenities at the Runner’s Village.
- Post-race awards and celebrations to be announced.
