AID STATION & TIMING
The course will be marked every kilometre, as well as every 5 miles.  All events will be timed using the ChampionChip timing system.

The Chip must be returned immediately following the race at Queen's Park at the end of the chutes. You must remove your chip immediately after you cross the finish line. You will not receive a medal until your chip is returned. If you do not finish or do not race but have picked up your kit, please return the chip to Sportstats or phone (613) 723-0994.
