Spectator Zone 1
Where: The intersection of the Easement Trail and Scenic Drive. See link HERE
Who will you see: 25km/50km participants 21km into their race and 11km participants running up the Easement Trail, 6.5km into their race.
Parking is available along Scenic Drive. We recommend parking on Scenic Drive and taking a short walk to this location and congregating on the grass trail or along the edge of the shared bike path. From here it would take you approx. 7 minuets to drive to the finish area, meaning you have time to see them finish.
Whats happening: This will be a bustling Aid station with all race routes passing through here on the way to the finish. You will be able to see 11km runners making their way up the lung busting Easement trail 6.5km into their runs and running down the bike path on City Road will be the 25km and 50km runners.
