Crush a mile as fast as you can. Then we take your time and age grade it using THIS calculator.

Both the unaltered times AND age-graded times will appear on HPWR.

Masters athletes- now is your time to show the youngins what would have happened if you raced them "back in your day!"

When:

If you want to be included in the prizing, you must complete the race on April 25th starting at 9:30AM.

The segment can also be completed anytime from April 20th-25th, you just won't be included in our prizing.

Course:

Check out the route HERE.

It's fast, net downhill with only ONE corner to slow you down. This will be a certified course with a start AND finish line!

Timing will still be done using the Strava segment, so make sure to start a little before the marked start line and to run through the finish! Self-timing at the start and finish line will be accepted as well- no cheating!

Prizes:

TOP 5 AGE GRADED times for both men and women will receive prizes from Runner's Choice, My Next KW HOME GROUP and H+P. Stay tuned for what these will be!

Life is hard for these kids.

Why We Run:

Brain injuries are more common than we may think. In Canada alone, over 1.5 million people live with the effects of an acquired brain injury. Each year, 160,000 Canadians suffer a brain injury, and many of us know someone who is living with the long-term consequences of a concussion or more serious brain trauma. Whether from a sports injury, a car accident, a fall, or a medical condition, brain injuries can affect anyone, at any time, and their impact can be life-changing.

The Brain Injury Association of Waterloo-Wellington is dedicated to raising awareness, providing support, and advocating for individuals who are navigating life after brain injury. The funds raised at Lakeside Laps will directly support BIAWW's programs, which focus on advocacy, education, empowerment, and connection for individuals living with brain injuries and their families.

How You Can Make a Difference:

• Raise Awareness: Every participant in Lakeside Laps helps bring attention to the need for better services and support for brain injury survivors.

• Support Survivors and Caregivers: The funds raised will go directly toward programs like support groups, peer mentoring, mental health initiatives, and educational outreach.

• Promote Brain Safety: BIAWW works to educate the community on the importance of brain safety, including helmet use and concussion prevention.

• Foster Empowerment: From art programs to mental health resources, we empower survivors to live their lives to the fullest, no matter the challenges they face.

We all know someone who has been affected by a brain injury, whether it’s a friend, family member, or colleague. By participating in Lakeside Laps for Brain Injury Awareness, you are showing your support for those living with the consequences of brain injury and helping to ensure that they have the resources they need to thrive.

Register Now:

Sign up today to be part of this incredible event! Your participation will make a real difference in the lives of those who are living with brain injury in our community.

Together, we can create a world where brain injury survivors are empowered to live full, active, and supported lives.
