10km: 7:50am
5km: 8:00am
Finishers will receive a finishers medal and custom event shirt.

Due to the nature of the course and narrow roads, along with insurance requirements, strollers and dogs are not allowed in the event.
*The cut-off time is 3 hours 30 minutes after the start of the half marathon.
Race Kit / Bib Numbers
Everyone MUST have a bib number and timing chip in order to take part in the event. This comes with your registration. Kit pick-up locations are listed below.
Two Options for Kit Pick-up
Fenelon Falls - Saturday June 12 10:00 am - 3:00 pm, Garnet Graham Beach Park, 98 Francis St W, Fenelon Falls (Race Venue)
Fenelon Falls - Race Morning Sunday June 13 5:00a-7am, Garnet Graham Beach Park, 98 Francis St W, Fenelon Falls (Race venue)
You may arrange for a friend to pick up your kit for you, provided you signed your waiver when you registered and you have given them permission by email (that they can show us) to pick up for you.
Mail out race kits are also available for those who wish to get their bib mailed to them. This option can be purchased through Race Roster during registration or through this "store" link afterwards.
Aid Stations
There will be aid stations serving water and XACT electrolyte drink approximately every 2.5 - 3.0 km on the course. XACT energy bars will be available at the half marathon turn aid station. Runners should carry their own nutrition and deposit any garbage at the aid stations. Please do not leave your garbage on the road or anywhere else along the course - the community supports this event and we want to keep it that way. Be respectful and keep your garbage with you until you get to an aid station , where you can dispose it. Portable toilets will be available at each aid station and at the half marathon turn around.
Race Day Parking
DO NOT TRY TO DRIVE RIGHT TO THE RACE SITE. You may be stuck and not be able to get out. Park off site and walk in.
Option A - A generous amount of parking is available on race day at the Fenelon Falls Community Centre , 27 Veterans Way, Fenelon Falls, K0M 1N0. It is a 20 minute walk to Garnet Graham Beach Park, past White Cottage Caf e and Tim Hortons and over the bridge with a spectacular view of the famous falls over Lock #34.
Option B & C - There are a few lots available in the ‘downtown’ area of Fenelon Falls closer to Garnet Graham Beach Park with access off Francis Street or Bond Street, and some street parking. Traffic may become backed up along these streets so be patient. Please do NOT try to access the parking at Garnet Graham Beach Park or drop off runners by passing through as the lot is reserved for crew, volunteers, race vehicles and vendors.
Note: Do NOT try and access Garnet Graham Park via Water Street . Sometimes your GPS will take you that way - Water Street is a DEAD END and you CANNOT park there - and you may get stuck in there as there is not much space to turn around and have traffic going both ways. So do NOT turn onto Water Street in Fenelon Falls at any time.
Please expect a LOT of traffic coming into town on race day and plan to arrive EARLY and stay calm.
Hotels
There are many types of accommodations in the Fenelon Falls and Lindsay area. There are hotels, cottage resorts, and cottage rentals.

Cancellation Policy: No cancellations or refunds. If there is a government or public health order that causes the event to be canceled or a weather or other reason that forces cancellation, you may do the race as a virtual event. There will be no deferrals or refunds. Transfers between distances or to another runner are allowed until June 10th, 2027. There will be a $5.00 administration fee for transfer. Weather Policy:
Safety always comes first, and Athletics Ontario sets rules and policies that outline when an event must be delayed or cancelled due to inclement weather. In the case of inclement weather that forces our race directors to cancel an event, there will be no refunds. In the case of a weather cancellation, by that time a large portion of the race fees have already been allocated. Registered participants will still receive their race shirt. Thank you for understanding these policies.
