Race Course Description

The courses are nice and flat. All races will be an out-and-back heading westward out of the park along King Street then Bay Road to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the L'Orignal Bay. A full lane will be blocked off by the OPP/Firefighters for everyone's safety. Water stations will be setup at the 2.5km marker and 10k turn-around. Distance markers will be visible at every kilometer. For the Along The Bay 10k, a pacer bike will be leading the way. As for the 5km colour run/walk, colour stations will be set at every kilometre but may be contoured if you so wish. For the 1km kid's colour run, parents may tag along and colour stations will be setup at various locations. Make sure to smile for the professional photographer on site!
