Finishers receive a medal and a custom event shirt. A bib number and timing chip are mandatory. Race kit pick up options are provided: Lindsay at Crossfit Lindsay, 205 St George Street on June 8, Toronto at Culture Athletics, 972 Queen St E on June 11, and Fenelon Falls on June 13. Mail-out race kits are available; mailed participants pick up their shirt on race day.
Aid stations will serve water and XACT electrolyte drink approximately every 2.5 to 3.0 km. No gels or other nutrition will be provided; runners should carry their own nutrition and deposit any garbage at aid stations. Portable toilets will be available at each aid station and at the half marathon turnaround.
Strollers and dogs are not allowed due to course layout and insurance requirements. Organizers warn of heavy traffic on race day; a large parking area is available at the Fenelon Falls Community Centre with about a 20 minute walk to Garnet Graham Beach Park. Downtown lots and some street parking are nearer but may fill and cause delays. Do not attempt to access Garnet Graham Beach Park by car as that lot is reserved for crew, volunteers, race vehicles and vendors. Water Street is a dead end and should not be used for park access.
Cancellation and transfer policies: there are no cancellations or refunds. If a government or public health order forces cancellation, a virtual event option may be offered. In case of weather cancellation no refunds are provided but registered participants will still receive their swag bag and race shirt. Transfers between distances or to another runner are allowed in early June for a CA$5 administration fee.
The event includes fundraising activity and had raised CA$1,977.29, including support for Kawartha Lakes Food Source. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
