The Course
The marathon, half marathon, and 10 km courses are Athletics Canada certified. This means they are accurately measured and can serve as qualifiers for races like the Boston and New York Marathons.

The marathon is two loops of this course, while the half marathon and 5 km are one loop.

Aid stations are located every 2.5-3 km, providing water and electrolyte drink. Pace bunnies are provided for several target times in the marathon and half marathon. All finishers receive a custom T-shirt and medal. The event has a cut-off time of 6 hours after the marathon start. Strollers and dogs are not permitted on the course.
