Pro tips

  1. 01

    Downtown start and finish

    The certified 21.1k course starts downtown and finishes at Victoria Park, so you can warm up and cool down in the same area. Expect a downtown start with possible congestion.

    University and Old North turns

    The route flows through the University of Western Ontario and Old North residential district. Be ready for turns and changing surfaces in these early sections, so don't get caught in a tight pack.
