How to get to the start?
The start is at Hawrelak Park, 9930 Groat Road, picnic shelter #2. Below is a link with a map... http://www.edmonton.ca/attractions_recreation/parks_rivervalley/william-...
If coming from the North:
Take Groat Road Southbound. Cross Groat Bridge South. Follow signs to Parks Area and stay right, along the golf course. Turn in on your right onto the following entrance.
From the South:
Take Groat Road North. After following the hill down into the river valley, get off at the same exit for Victoria Park Road but go left instead of right at the top of the bridge. Follow this road back around Northbound and you will see the park entrance on your right.
What to Bring?
Bring your own food. There is a water tap at several points on the route (including the start), indicated on the route map but be prepared in case it is out of service. Again there are washrooms at the start and at several indicated points on the map but be prepared for the unexpected. Sorry - no showers are available and the pond is really icky.
Bring your own official timing system (a watch will do, even if the second hand doesn't work.) There will be a pen and paper to record your split times.
Bring a change of clothes for afterward and possibly a nice lounging chair or blanket.
Post-Event
For those left standing, a post event celebration will be held at Brewsters in Oliver Square at 8pm of the same evening.
Other Notes
