RACE DAY EXPERIENCE

This is to be confirmed; but we are hopeful we can use Rotherglen’s School parking lot again. 

Are washrooms available? 
Yes, porta-potties will be available at the start/finish area. This will be located in the small parking lot that’s at the start/finish area. We are also looking at having a porta-potty at the hydration station halfway through the 11km course   

WEATHER & SAFETY

What if the weather is bad? 
November is extremely unpredictable as we discovered last year (SNOW!). The race is intended to take place in rain, snow or shine. If the weather is bad, we will do our best to cut down on the pre-race announcements. In extreme weather conditions, updates will be provided via email and social media. 

Will there be medical support? 
Yes, we are hopefully that St. John’s ambulance will be back this year.
