Courses
Safety Precautions
Always use good judgement and common sense. Carry a whistle at all times. Headlamps are essential to see and be seen. Take care when crossing roads and parking lots. Watch out for other runners, cyclists, and trail/sidewalk users.
Parking/Start Location
We'll meet at the soccer field in Roche Point Park next to Sherwood Park Elementary. I don't think there are washrooms nearby - There are some businesses or cates park a couple minutes drive away.
Post-Event Dining
TBD
