Parking, Access and Bus Shuttle
There will be free access and ample parking at Confederation Park during the events. Shuttle access will bring participants to their respective start lines for the Full and Half Marathons. All events finish at Confederation Park, so runners will be able to get to their vehicles easily after finishing. Arrive early to catch your shuttle to the start line (approximately an hour before race start time).
NOTE: Shuttles will NOT be returning people to the start area, so do NOT park by the starting line up top. Rather, take advantage of the ample parking at Confederation Park and take the shuttle up before running down.


Aid Stations
14 water stations on the Marathon course, 6 water stations on the Half Marathon course and 2 water stations on the 10k route. Washroom stations will be provided at each water stop along the course, approximately every 3km.

Medical
St. John's Ambulance will be on location plus bike paramedics on course.

Chip Timing
All racers and runners will be using timing chips. Pick up your timing chip at the race kit pick-up and return the chip at the finish line. Chips not returned are the responsibility of the runner and unreturned/lost chips are assessed a $45 charge. Without your timing chip, your time will not be recorded!

Baggage
A free baggage check will be available to all participants. 5k and 10k participants check in at Confederation Park. Full and Half Marathon participants can check their bags at the race start to be bussed back to Confederation Park for retrieval upon race finish. Please allow ample time to check your bags prior to race start.
