A cloakroom/drop bag area is provided, but the organizer does not take responsibility for lost, stolen, or damaged items.
Bib pickup is organised at the Centre communautaire de Sainte‑Catherine‑de‑Hatley; on-site registration is possible and accepts cash only. Parking is available near the town hall (about 300 m) and at École Dominique Savio (about 100 m), with additional spaces along the right side of Chemin de la Montagne; parking in front of the convenience store is not permitted.
After the race, each finisher receives a medal, a souvenir gift and a post race meal. Podiums and awards are presented to the first three men and first three women in each distance.
