There are no roads to cross or intersections to navigate. *However, its important to note that the course is a "shared trail" so there will be others using the trail. Thus, caution is required.

There will be some room in the gazebo for participants chairs. There is very limited space for canopies, so some runners may wish to utilize their vehicle, and or stage their recovery area/chair near the gazebo.
There are many business near the start/finish area, which runners & support crews can utilize to gather needed supplies and food. While friends and family can observe the race from the board walk & or the Holy Whale Beer Hall & Garden , which is only meters away from the starting corral and will be our event headquarters.

Although there are no hotels on the Riverview side, the city of Moncton has many verities of accommodation to choose from. *Please note - there is no camping permitted on site or town land. Participants are welcome to utilize the gazebo for as long as the event continues.
