Gear Check
Gear check will be available at the Coliseum during bib pick-up hours on Friday evening and at the finish line area on Grosvenor Street on Saturday morning. Please place all your gear in a 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.
Gear dropped off at Registration on Friday evening will be securely transported to the finish line for pickup on Saturday.
Parking & Getting to the Start Line
Free parking is available at multiple lots near the arena 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 on hand to answer questions, direct you, and help you get to your event on time.

Free bike valet service will be available at the Southampton Coliseum on Friday from 5 - 7:30 pm, and on Saturday on Grosvenor Street from 8 am - 12 pm.

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.
Course Etiquette
We’re excited to welcome over 1000 participants and volunteers to this year’s event! Help us create a supportive and enjoyable experience by following these tips:
Line up by pace: Faster runners should line up at the front, slower runners and walkers should position themselves toward the back.
Pass on the left: When passing another runner, please indicate verbally. Encourage your fellow runners as you go!
Keep aid stations moving: Quickly grab water, thank the volunteers, and continue moving to maintain flow.
- Walkers, stay right: Please keep to the right side of the road to allow faster runners to pass safely.
Be mindful of bike marshals: Lead runners will be escorted by bike marshals. Please be aware of their presence and follow any instructions to help keep the road clear.
- Running with strollers: If you are running with a stroller, please start near the back to allow for safe passing by other runners.
- Support one another: A high-five or kind words of encouragement can make a big difference!
