Post-Event Update
Thanks for coming out, folks! I'm glad the snow had cleared enough for it to be runnable. Apologies for the patchy results - I was struggling to keep up with the initial rush and missed either the start or finish time for quite a few entries.

Weather Update
Please note there is a chance of cancellation if snow leaves the sidewalks in the area too slippery for safe running.
Registration
Registration/start will be under cover just east of the Athletes Way entrance to Creekside Community Recreation Centre.
Please sign up by Tuesday night (at midnight) so that we can print enough maps.
Access
The start location is easily walkable from Main Street-Science World and Olympic Village stations, and several bus lines run nearby. There is paid parking under the Recreation Centre, at Science World, and in several other lots/underground parkades nearby, or you can take your chances with street parking in the neighbourhood (some of it is free south of 2nd!).
Courses
- Beginner: A short course suitable for those new to the sport. Family friendly.
- Loops: 2-3 short sprint loops with a focus on high speed navigation (conditions permitting) and detail-reading. No pressure to finish them all!
