Course Description

Start in Bowring Park near the Caribou Memorial, heading west. Make a short out and back before exiting the Park at the West Gate. Do another short out and back on Squires before heading toward Waterford Heights North and a right turn into the running lane on Perlin. After taking a right onto Brookfield, continue in the running lane as far as the traffic signals.

Go straight through the traffic signals onto Waterfordbridge Road heading east. As you pass by the East Gate to the Park, enter the running lane between the cones and the centre line of the road, and continue past the bridge. Continue on Waterfordbridge Road all the way to Water Street.

As you approach Water Street, squeeze right into the running lane along the curb, before taking the right hand turn ramp onto Blackhead Road. Stay in the running lane across the bridge, then take the right hand turn ramp onto Southside Road, heading west.

Stay on Southside Road all the way to its end at Bay Bulls Road. Turn right onto Bay Bulls Road, over the bridge, and left into the running lane along the curb on Waterfordbridge Road. Stay in the running lane heading west, and turn into the East Gate of the Park.

Keep to the left and head up the hill to the Finish/Next Loop line next to the Bungalow.

Keep to the left of the finish to start your next loop, taking a sharp left over the bridge above the T'Railway to head to the West Gate. Do four loops for the Marathon and two loops for the Half-Marathon.

Notes

Time Limit for the Marathon is 6 hours. Please respect this limit considering the length of the day for volunteers, road closures, and awards reception.
For those who don't believe they can finish within the time limit (only those!) we do have an early start option. Please indicate on your registration, and the race director will be in touch to coordinate with you. We organize a single early start with escort. This option is not to be selected by those who can finish within the time limit.
