READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

Cape Vincent in February — average temperature -4°C, so the cold is a major factor.

Spend as much time as possible indoors before the start so you do not get chilled, and bring gloves, a beanie, and a neck warmer for safety.

Public transit does not reach the race venue.

A personal or rental car is the only realistic way to get there.

Registration is handled through the RunSignup platform.

Full marathon is where the real race begins, after 30 km.

It is better for your second half to pass the halfway point 5–10 seconds slower than your target pace,

and you should start taking gels early, before you feel hungry.

The start is at 08:00. Registration is open until 12 February 2027.

Times are local to Cape Vincent. Check the latest official information before the race.
