    The concept of this one is simple: Run 5K at your Chilly Half goal pace (or the pace you would target if you were racing it hard) and win a prize!

    WHEN?

    Saturday February 21st @ 9AM. This is the perfect timing to test your race pace pre- Chilly.

    COURSE:

    We will be using the H+P SVEC 5K route which you can check out HERE.

    Our back up will be using ring road at UofW- stay tuned for details on this of needed.

    TIMING:

    Results will be posted on HPWR.

    Timing will be completed using the SEGMENT. The start and finish point will be marked, but make sure you start before it and end after it so you register a time.

    Also make sure you start a new activity on your watch, make sure your activity is public, AND make sure you have turned off hide start/end point.

    PRIZING:

    When you register, you will enter your GOAL PACE for the Chilly Half. They key is this has to be a LEGIT, challenging HM goal pace for you (even if you don't intend on chasing it at Chilly). We'll know if you're slacking! :P

    If you hit your time, you got a Chilly Half prize pack!

    (1) A H+P Winter Hat for race day.

    (2) Buff from My Next KW Home Group for race day.

    (3) 1 Maurten CAF 100 gel Runners' Choice Waterloo - what else are you taking 5mins before the start??

    Concept:

    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!
