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.
- Each runner must register for this event.
- 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 Gates Park. 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 at Castle Park.
- Once the exchange point #2 tag has been made, gather your team and head to exchange point #3 on the Poco Trail at Tinhouse Brewing 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.
THE RUNNERS’ VILLAGE: (Finish line area)
- The final runner will receive the finisher medals for the whole team.
- Prizes will be given out for “Funniest Team Name” and “Best Costume”.
- Come vibe to some awesome music and the exhilaration of watching teams run through the finish line. It’s going to be electric.
- 1st place medals will be awarded to teams in the following team categories: solo-runner, 2-person team, 3-person team, and 4-person team. 1st place medals will be presented as soon as 1st place finishers have crossed the finish line in all categories.
- Keep your race bib on as you will need it to access the products in the Village. Come sample dairy products by Saputo, beverages and snacks from Popeye’s supplements, a snack box from Chada Thai Fine Cuisine, grab a sweets bag from Poco Sweets, a drink token from Tinhouse Brewing, a bottle of electrolytes from Electrolit, water by Save-On-Foods, a treat from Safeway, or a massage from Trifecta Rehab.
- Don't forget to thank a sponsor, a volunteer, or Bob (LOL). We love good vibes all around.
