The Wendy's RB Half Marathon will start at 8:30am. There will be a few opening ceremonies at approximately 8:15am for the half marathon and the traditional train whistle to start the race. 

​

A second opening ceremony will happen in advance of the 5km and 10km runs and will start shortly after the start of the

RB Half Marathon at 8:45am.

 

The Debbie Hamilton & the Cooperators 10km run will start at 9am sharp with the traditional train whistle start and then the Masco 5km runners will line up quickly behind for a 9:10am start time.

 

All 3 courses will be well marked and supported with volunteers, police and React members at road crossings and closures. There will be a few water stations along all routes with water and Gatorade available for the runners. St. John’s Ambulance will also be on and around the routes in case of emergency. We will also have cyclists leading each the first-place runners male and female in all 3 races as well as cyclists sweeping the back of the race course to ensure everyone finishes their race safely.

 

The children’s 1km Choo Choo Challenge will start on the path system beside the Railway Museum and head east toward the Joe Thornton arena to a turnaround point and back to the start line at 10:30am. The entire course will be supported by volunteers and lined with balloons and chalk drawings to encourage the little runners. Parents are encouraged to run with their little ones or support from the sidelines.
