This year’s event will remain the same as it has in the past, offering two challenging race options: a Half Marathon and a 5K. Although there are currently no plans to add a 10K or Full Marathon to the line-up, this is something that may be considered in the future.

Race Kit Pick Up will be held on Friday, September 21, from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Saturday, September 22, from 09:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
All registered participants’ names and bib #’s will be posted on a master list at Race Kit Pickup. Each person will be required to find this information and present it to a volunteer at one of the registration kiosks. We recommend that you have photo identification with you in case clarification is needed.
Yes. Just follow the same procedure as you did when retrieving yours.
Your bib number will be e-mailed to you by Sportstats.ca prior to race weekend. Be sure to check your Junk/Spam folder if you can’t find the e-mail.
There will be more than 40 portable toilets located on Marion Dewar Plaza (City Hall) parallel to Laurier Avenue. An Information tent and Sweat Check tent are also onsite.
Participants may check their personal belongings at the Sweat Check tent inside Confederation Park.
Every effort is made to order enough shirts in all sizes but once numbers in specific sizes run out, a participant must select a shirt in another size range.
All lost and found items will be sent to the Information Tent located on Marion Dewar Plaza.
Baby joggers and strollers can pose a danger to other participants. Due to injuries observed at other events, as a result of baby joggers and strollers, we have decided not to allow them in the half marathon. Strollers will be permitted in the 5K, but only if you are walking, not running, and you must start at the back behind the last row of participants.
Due to restrictions imposed by our insurance company, coupled with consideration for the safety of other runners, pets are not allowed on the course. The only exception is for those registered as guide dogs for the visually impaired.
Walkers are most welcome and are given a start position behind the last row of runners.
There will be pacers in both events, identified by a sign that each one will carry that signifies their anticipated finish time.
There will be 6 water stations for the half marathon, the first located at 3K and situated approximately every 3K thereafter.
There will be only one water station in the 5K, located just before the 3K mark.
There will also be 2 chemical toilets placed at each location.
Corrals are placed behind the start line as a way to organize participants of similar pace and to assist in moving everyone into the race gradually. Each participant declares this when registering for the event and their bib # will include this information. For example, a participant with a predicted finish time of 2 hours 10 minutes would not line up in the sub 1hr 45 minute corral.
There is no official time limit identified, but we will start dismantling the finish line at approximately 1:00 pm. Therefore, in order for your time to be recorded, you must be able to complete the 21.1 km in less than 4 hours (11.5 min/km).
The race chip that records your time is built into your bib. You do not have to return the chip when you’re finished the race.
Official race results are available at http://www.sportstats.ca.
While chip time shows when a participant crosses the start line, “gun time” is the time when the gun fires to the time you cross the finish line. Because gun time is always used for timing winners, it is the time listed first in the results.
Family and friends are asked to meet you in Marion Dewar Plaza after you have exited the Recovery Area inside Confederation Park.
The Recovery Area is located at the end of the finish chute and positioned inside Confederation Park.
Light refreshments will be available to give you a pick up after the race.
There is plenty of room for spectators along both the half marathon and 5K courses. You will find detailed maps for each of the routes here.
ZoomPhoto.ca is the official race photographer for the 2012 Canada Army Run.
After Canada Army Run weekend, you will receive an e-mail from iTab with a promotional code. You can then visit their website to fill in your details and finishing time, and provide this code upon checkout to avoid being charged twice.
Printable versions of the pledge form are available here. You will be able to hand these in, along with the money that you’ve raised, during the Army Run Sports Expo on Friday, September 21 and Saturday, September 22.
