Any shirts not picked up by 8:30 am on race day will be considered donated back to the event and made available for purchase at the finish line expo by donation. If you cannot attend but would like to receive your shirt, please email huronshorerun@gmail.com by June 4 to arrange pickup (we will not be mailing shirts).
Gear Check
Gear check is available Saturday morning from 8 to 11:30 am at the north end of the finish line area on Grosvenor Street. Please place all your gear in a clearly labeled small bag or backpack; do not bring any loose items. Volunteers will mark your bag with your bib number when you drop it off, so you will need your bib number to collect it afterward.
Parking & Getting to the Start Line
Free parking is available at multiple lots near the Coliseum and downtown Southampton. Please check signage and avoid blocking access for emergency vehicles. Allow extra time for a quick walk to the start line.
The start line is in front of The Walker House on High Street. Volunteers will be there to answer questions, direct you, and help you get to your event on time. Look for volunteers holding "Ask Me" signs.
Bike Valet
Free bike valet service will be available at the Southampton Coliseum on Friday from 5 to 7:30 pm, and on Saturday on Grosvenor Street from 8 am to 12 pm.
Friday evening bike valet is located at the northeast corner of the Coliseum by the Boathouse. Drop your bike off with the valet team while you pick up your bib. All bikes must be collected by 7:30 pm.
Bike valet on race morning is located in the post-race area on Grosvenor Street. The easiest access will be from the north end of Grosvenor Street off any street north of High Street. Volunteers will mark your bike with your bib number when you drop it off, so you will need your bib number to collect it afterward. Save time on parking, get a good warm-up, and support the environment!
Aid Stations
Water, bananas, and granola bars will be available at the finish line for refueling. The Quench Buggy mobile water station will be located at the Start/Finish line—please bring your water bottle to fill up before or after your run.
Course Support
Portable restrooms are available near the Start/Finish Line in the Legion parking lot behind The Walker House, and along Mirimachi Bay Rd near Pegasus Trail. The restroom buildings at the south end of North Shore Park will be open.
A First Aid and Rest Station is located on Mirimachi Bay Road at the corner of Concession 10 and Cutter Street. It will be staffed by the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation and will have a paramedic on site. Runners can take a break to rest, receive medical assistance, and get some extra encouragement to keep going.
The Saugeen Shores Fire Department will be present along the course, along with First Aid/CPR-trained volunteers on e-bikes to support runners in need of assistance. A paramedic will be present at the First Aid/Rest Station, and a medical doctor will be available at the finish line.
