What do you look for in a race course?

The Laurier Loop also always has a great race shirt colour and design!

Every race is special and unique. The upcoming Laurier Loop race is always a favourite of mine for two reasons. One reason is because I get the opportunity to run it as a team. With all the relay teams, it’s a very supportive atmosphere and I know that having others counting on me pushes me harder and encourages me to want to do my best.

The second reason is because of the course itself. In the heart of the WLU main campus, it’s full of twists and turns; road, sidewalk and some trail sections; good ups and downs; and lots of supportive spectators throughout. 

This month, what I want to know is, what do you look for in a race course? How much does the course matter? Do you travel to other places because of great courses? Or, what do you NOT look for in a course?
