Walkers are permitted in every division except for the 80 km race, provided they can maintain the required pace and adhere to competitive walking rules. A specific 10 km clinic is also offered, featuring a six-week training program with group sessions in St. Catharines covering nutrition, injury prevention, and race preparation.
Participants who complete their registration by March 31, 2026, receive an event sweatshirt.
