Sunday
The Race starts @ 7:30 am at Glenmore Athletic Park
with a school 2 blocks away there is plenty of parking places if coming by car.
A non covered bag drop is provided … so you might want to leave you bags in the car if it’s rain

The half Marathon will cover the area around the reservoir
Fairly flat and rolling you can get a good amount of speed.
Km 13 you will have a bit of challenge if you don’t like uphills
and near the end, in order to cross the highway, there is a bridge climb but nothing dramatic

Water stations are there with sports drinks …
No solid provided only gels once around mid race
The park comes with Washrooms for emergency stops .

Finishing line is at the stadium.
Nice Medals, a bit small, are distributed to 1/2 Marathon Finishers as well as Hot Breakfast , Water and sport drink for every body
