PACKAGE PICK UP
As we tend to get a large number of participants registered and to ease the congestion, we stagger the bib pick up times. Package pick up will take place near the start/finish area.
- Long Course participants can pick up their bibs starting at 9:00am until 10:30am.
- Short Course participants can pick up their bibs starting at 9:45am until 10:45am.
AID STATIONS – No CUPS!
There are two aid stations for the long course and one aid station for the short course. There will be no cups so please bring your own. The Aid Station will have water, Gatorade and snacks! Everything you would normally expect to see at a Coastline Endurance Running and Vancouver Island Trail Running Series event!
