3. At the Race / Pre-Race
It is encouraged to arrive at least an hour before the start of the race to ensure that you’re at the starting line ready to run before the gun goes off.
Race day kit pick up for those who were not able to pick up prior to race day can do so inside the Rec Centre. Washrooms / change rooms inside the rec center are open. If you have a bag or other items you’d like to leave in a safe spot during the race, a bag check is available in the rec center.

4. Race
Please follow the route markings and obey all volunteers. Stay inside designated race boundaries for your own safety. Police and volunteers will be on the course re-routing traffic. There will be a water station and first aid present on the course. If at any point you need assistance ask the nearest volunteer wearing a safety vest. Run hard and have fun!
