Getting to the start

• Please plan to arrive by 8:00 to get checked in at 15 King Street South (back parking lot of Waterloo Town Square/Running Room) in the centre of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Route

• The backbone of the run is a 10.55k loop.
• The "sprint" event will be a single loop.
• The 50k "ultra" event will be five loops.
• The course is fairly easy to run and easy to follow. There are a few small hills. Some maps will be available race morning.

What to Bring?

• Aid. (Whatever food, water or electrolyte drink you need for a run of the distance you propose to complete.) If you expect and are prepared for no external aid, you may be pleasantly surprised... but do not count on it!
• Clothing. It could be -30C or it could be +10C. Hope you checked the weather this morning and dressed accordingly!
• Official timing system. (A watch will do, even if the second hand doesn't work.) Please be sure to keep track of your finish time and to give it to the timekeeper.
• Change of clothes. It will be cold. It may be wet. You will want to shower and change afterwards.
• money for the post event gathering

• Post event gathering 
• runners, volunteers, friends and family are encouraged to meet afterwards at the Duke of Wellington, 33 Erb Street West,  Tel(519) 886-9370 for what we hope will prove to be a great party.
