WHO CAN PARTICIPATE

Everyone is welcome but please leave the furry friends at home. You are more than welcome to walk or run the event. Go at your own pace but please be aware that the roads need to be reopened as quickly as possible so participants are asked to keep their walk to a max of 1.5 hours. There will be a sweep vehicle in case you feel you need a ride back to the finish line if you can't finish before 1.5 hours. Cookies and hot chocolate will still be waiting for you!

​

NOTE ABOUT STROLLERS:

There is a short gravel section at the start and end of the run that will make it difficult for a traditional stroller to navigate. Please ensure you are using a running stroller or an off-road stroller with large wheels for the run. 

​

Children who are in strollers do not need to register for the event unless you would like them to have the t-shirt and finisher goodies like the other runners. 

 

 

AWARDS

Everyone is the winner here. The event will be chip timed but there will not be any age group or overall awards given. This is your personal challenge.
