Starting Points:
The Southern Phase starts at Castle Junction at 7:00 am.
The Northern phase starts at Saskatchewan River Crossing at 7:00 am.
Pace Requirements:
The start time means captains must ensure their southern phase runners will be averaging a 5:45/km pace (9:24/mile).The northern phase will start at 7:00 a.m.. The minimum average pace for this phase is 5:55/km (9:51/mile).
Course Closures:
The race course closes at 10:00 p.m., and all runners still on course must stop and be picked up by their support vehicles.
Forced starts may are used on the later stages of the relay to keep the participants running togetherand to ensure that everyone gets to run.
