Course and event details
The start and finish are in the Nature Discovery Area of Aldergrove Regional Park. Trails are wide, hard-packed dirt and gravel that pass through rolling meadows, mixed forest and wetland areas. The 5 km route is mainly flat with a few short hills. The 11 km route mixes flat sections and undulating hills. The 22 km is two laps of the 11 km course. The 1 km fun run uses non-technical park paths.
Aid station coverage varies by distance (for example, the 5 km has one aid station at midcourse; the 11 km and 22 km have multiple aid stations). Strollers are permitted; the organizer recommends suitable running strollers and experience for hillier routes. The event is cupless; participants should carry a reusable cup. Results and event photos are posted after the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
