COURSE

Click on map for larger view. Route is an out and back on paved bike path alongside the majestic Niagara Parkway. Very scenic with several road crossings. Elevation gain: 255m

This is a public trail. We will not have exclusive use of the trail. Keep an eye (or ear out) for cyclists and please respect other users of the trail

Cars – although the course is relatively traffic free, there are countless driveways and intersections, as well as a few locations where the trail actually crosses streets.

Please be careful, course marshals are not allowed to stop traffic for you so you will have to be on your best pedestrian behaviour and cross at your own risk

AID STATIONS

Every 5 k, Gatorade or other electrolyte, bananas, pretzels, chips, cookies, coke, gingerale, water

TOILETS

Port-a-potties are at 5 km, 10 km, 15 km and 20 km aid stations.

Public toilets at various public/park locations

iTAB

Personalize your medal with an iTAB. Collect your medal at the finish line and your iTAB will arrive in the post a few weeks later engraved with your Name and Finish Time. A great way to celebrate your achievement.

WHAT WE BELIEVE IN

Preservation of our trails through the Bruce Trail Conservancy

Wheelchairs/Strollers/Dogs

Due to the nature of the paved trail and with runners/walkers traveling back and forth, we do not permit wheelchairs, strollers or dogs

Headphones

This course is not closed for our specific use so there will be pedestrians/cyclists on the paved trail. There are also several road crossings where marshals will be providing instructions to runners. For these reasons we suggest that runners/walkers do not use headphones.
