Marathon Parent Information 2016

Hello Parents. This year the Marathon Course is reversed.  Here are some helpful links for the race.  Your runner is on the spreadsheet.  It tells you when to arrive at the exchange (purple) and when the expected time of their team mate will arrive(white). I have also given an approximate time for your runner to finish their leg.  Please practice getting to the exchange points before the race.  Expect delays and give yourself plenty of time to get there on race day. For you veterans of the race there is a change this year.  We are running Backwards!! Be aware of new exchange points please.


The Marathon has a Google map and here are some helpful links. Click the links to see where the exchanges are in the city. When you arrive at the Google Map please click on Hospitality stations and you will see the Relay Exchange Zones.  These are the links that you want.

Please contact the school and ask for Mme Tetrault or Mr Harbeck before Thursday if you have questions.
