Course and logistics

The race uses a single 5.96 km trail loop with about 164 m ascent and 169 m descent per lap. Participants complete as many laps as they wish within their timed event. The Start/Finish and transition zone are at Keith King Memorial Park; the course passes through the transition area. Parking and washrooms are available on-site.

There are no aid stations on the loop; water, electrolytes and food are available at the Start/Finish area and runners are encouraged to be self-contained. Team crews and assistance are permitted only at the Start/Finish area. Laps are recorded at a lap table where runners check in and note times; volunteers assist with lap counting. Dogs are allowed in the festivities area on leash but are not permitted on course. The event is community-based and volunteer supported, includes an optional Swag Swap donation to Tree Canada, and will run in variable weather conditions. Race policies include no bib transfers, no pacers, no deferrals, and no refunds. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
