10km Race
The 10km route is mostly flat; there is one short hill on the back side of the loop around the lake. The course consists of three loops around Professor's Lake, most of it along paved trails. The race starts in the driveway to Professor's Lake Recreation Centre, heads north towards the lake and then does three counter-clockwise loops around the lake before returning to the start location.
One water station, providing Gatorade and water, will be located at around the 3km mark and again at about the 6.2 km mark. The course will be marshalled with police and assisted by trained volunteers to help protect runners from traffic. We use ChipTime Results to ensure accurate and official race timing.
5km Race
The 5km route does one loop around Professor's Lake then loops back along the sidewalk parallel to Northpark Drive before joining the path again for one last stretch beside the lake. Like the 10km race, the 5km race starts in the driveway to Professor's Lake Recreation Centre, heads north towards the lake and then does one counter-clockwise loop around the lake. One water station, providing Gatorade and water, will be located at around the 3km mark. The course will be marshalled with police and assissted by trained volunteers to help protect runners from traffic. We use ChipTime Results to ensure accurate and official race timing.
