The 5 KM course has one water station; the 10 KM course has three. Courses are certified distances and sanctioned by Athletics Ontario. Animals are permitted in the park but not on the run/walk. Runners are asked to keep to the right on trail sections. A time limit is applied at a pace of 10 minutes per kilometre; participants not meeting intermediate time standards may be required to continue without race support.
