Course maps
5k course. The 1.1k starts at the same time and is the first (small) loop of the 5k. All turns are marked with signs and marshals. On the out-and-back, runners stay to the right in both directions. About 600m of out-and-back is a dirt path with some stretches of crushed limestone and good drainage throughout.
Course Rules
It is every participant’s responsibility to know the course and the race assumes no responsibility for any missed turns. Each turn will be marshaled and signed. Courses are pending approval and may change with municipal needs.
Time limit: 10 minutes per kilometer. Starting at the half way mark of the 11k, if a participant does not reach a km mark by this calculated time, the participant will be asked to move to the sidewalk and finish the race as a pedestrian, unassisted by race support. Participants are asked to familiarize themselves with the course route if this situation might be a possibility to them. We wish to minimize traffic disruption caused by our event, and value the support of Police services regarding participant safety.
