    Weather Policy:

    Safety always comes first and Athletics Ontario sets rules and policies that outline when an event must be delayed or cancelled due to inclement weather.

In the case of a weather cancellation, by that time a large portion of the race fee’s have already been allocated. Registered participants will still receive your swag bag. Thank you for understanding these policies.

    Registration is NON-REFUNDABLE due to pre-purchased race expenses!!

    BIBS can be TRANSFERRED to another participant for any distance until October 9 9am! ($3 service fee applies) Check out our Facebook page to find a bib if the race sells out.
