..Old School! We will use the 2003 map 1:7500 with some important updates. It will not be the super detailed map we use for night events. The start will be north of the arena. The course will link Queen's Park, 2 school yards, the Justice Institute, the ravine, and the parks around City Hall. There will be some street running between the detailed areas.
The busiest street (McBride Boulevard) must be crossed by pedestrian bridges. Please take special care when crossing other streets.
