H+P Spring Blastoff 1M

The H+P Spring Blastoff is a running event focused on a single 1 mile distance held in Waterloo, Ontario. The event uses a specific format where results are presented as both raw times and age-graded scores. This allows participants to compare their performances across different age brackets using professional age-grading calculators.

The course is certified and designed for speed, featuring a net downhill profile with only one corner to navigate. The physical route starts and ends at 490 Dutton Drive. Timing is primarily managed through a Strava segment, though participants can also use manual self-timing at the marked start and finish lines.

Available distances include:

  • 1 mile (In-person)
  • 1 mile (Virtual)

The in-person race is required for those wishing to be eligible for prizes, which are awarded to the top five age-graded times for both men and women. A virtual option is also available for those who cannot attend the main event date, allowing them to complete the segment during a designated window prior to the official race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
