COURSE UPDATE
I have updated the 50k and 25k courses on the website, so you can check them out below.

We are still dealing with some erratic data, so if you look at the raw GPX files, you will see the elevation going up and down like crazy. This can be due to a number of factors. So the elevation should be less than you see in the downloads, or in RunGo. Every GIS app interprets data a bit differently, so when you upload it, you can compare two side by side, and they will be different.
50K + 25K SHIRTS
I Everyone in the 3-day categories, and the 50k or 25k, gets a sweet long sleeve tech top. We ordered extra, so if you didn't already pick your size, you have until Saturday night to update your entry. Log into your Race Roster account > Pick the event > Edit.

We are getting the shirts and day 3 toques locally through Beach Town Graphics in Wasaga Beach.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
We're still looking for a whole whack of volunteers, especially on Saturday. It's going to have a fun time, and we have great swag for our volunteers. We aren't giving them a t-shirt for their trouble – they are getting a custom fleece blanket plus other goodies!
Volunteers make the race so much better, so volun-tell everyone you know to sign up!

CUPLESS RACING + GELS
Just a note that we do not have cups at any of our aid stations on the course. That means you need your own cup, flask, bottle, or bladder to fill up. At main transitions (so at South Base Lodge and CP8 on the 50k course, there are cups, primarily for hot food and drinks.
We also do not offer individually packaged gels. These wrappers get everywhere, even when people are careful. Sun River Honey provides bulk gel for us, so (once again) you need your own container. Or I'll just squeeze some into your mouth. Mmmmm!
That's it for now. Stay tuned and train hard - it's time to cram.
See you soon!
Kindest regards,
Brian Gallant
