Headphones

The athletic federation of Ontario does not recommend wearing headphones during the race. If you wish to run with music, you must be able to hear outside sounds such as a runner asking you to yield or a volunteer giving you instructions. This is for your safety and that of other participants and volunteers. Due to the complexity of the course, its stairs, and narrow corridors, strollers will not be allowed to access the event and run the 5km.

Stairs

There are two very important rules regarding the stairs: the use of mechanical escalators is prohibited, and no step should be climbed or descended two at a time. In other words, skipping steps is not allowed; they must be climbed and descended one by one.

Locker Room

There will be a locker room available, but you must place all your items in a pre-prepared garbage bag or large bag. A sticker with your bib number will be provided for you to attach to your bag. Don’t forget your bag, otherwise, you won’t be able to leave your clothes at the locker room.

Toilets

Use public facilities everywhere on the course.

Water Station:

At the end, only in your race bag.
