Frequently Asked Questions

No there is not, runners are encouraged to get dropped off/picked up by friends/family, rideshare/taxi or public transit, due to the point to point nature of the event.

No, to reduce our enviromental impact we require runners to bring their own reusable cups to use at aid stations. 

Will trails be closed down to the public? 

No. Please be respectful of other trail users.

Where are the start and finish lines located? 

The start line is the Parkgate village in the North Shore and the finish line is The Shed, Cypress Village Pop-Up Lookout. 

Can my crew cheer me on and bring me fuel at the aid stations? 

We encourage it!! They can bring you pizza, beer, a therapist, or a time machine to unregister. Most usually just bring words of encouragement. There will be drinks and snacks to keep you fueled. 

Do I get a medal if I DNF? 

Unfortunately no, medals are only for finishers. If you tap our early your prize is unlimited high fives from volunteers, a killer story and a reason to sign up again next year. I think the BMO marathon gives them out to everyone.. you could try there!
