Race Brief
Traffic – We have done our best to reduce traffic flow but there is always a
chance of a motor vehicle on the route. Remain
alert & put safety first!
The route is marked by white signs with Red Arrows & distance markers. There are also volunteers at the intersections to guide you. Look for the traffic vests & Race Crew Shirts!
The 2.5K Aid Station is on the left side of the road at Sunset Park. There is one (1) washroom there. About 100m past the water table will be a toss in hockey net for your cups, see if you can hit the target on the run!!
When you return to the Square from North St Cross to the inner lane & run between the ropes & the curb.
5K runners and walkers stay left as you approach the start / finish line and head to the finish line banner.
10K runners veer right and continue onto South St and start your second lap for 10K.
10K runners you will find an aid station on the right as you start on South St.
Only enter the Finish Line Chute ONCE!...If you go back on the route to run in with a friend or family member that is all right but do NOT re-enter the finish area with them,. It interferes with the time keeper’s system!
Please run the race you are registered for – I.e. if you registered for the 10K and decide partway through to only run the 5K do not enter the finish chute. Again, this interferes with the time keeping results. Exit the route prior to the finish line and report to the time keeper that you are not finishing. If you wish to change races please report to the “changes” table at the check in station prior 830a.m.
If you are having trouble on the route that may require medical assistance alert the nearest Race Crew volunteer. We have Huron County EMS available for both minor & emergency care. You will also find the EMS staff stationed just past the finish line.
Post race meal – You need your bib to be fed! Only race participants & volunteers for the meal please.
Prizes & draws will start about 1030 – for all draws you must be present to win! Draws will be done by Bib Number. We have some great prizes up for grabs don’t miss out!
Have fun…Stay safe….and thank you for coming out for the Run Around The Square!
