Greetings Multisporters,
We're just a few days away from the 11th annual Bruce Peninsula Multisport Race - presented by Bruce Power! We hope you're all as excited as we are for the adventure to come! If you haven't been to the website recently, the "Need To Know" page has been updated with all the details needed to ensure a smooth weekend ahead. There you'll find:
The Racer Handbook/Rules File (extremely important, please read!)
Schedule of Events (also included below)
Paddle Stage Maps
BIke and Run Stage Maps
Host Site/Festival Overview Map
Central Transition Area Map
As you'll read in the Racer Handbook, all races will be taking place on Saturday August 6th and we're returning to a mass-start style of event, although the "Suntrail Course" will be started in waves based on categories to ensure less congestion at the start and when landing after the paddle. Race Kit Pick-Up will again take place on Saturday morning only, and again outdoors under the Pavilion in Bluewater Park (see the Festival Overview Map). Upon arrival it would be best to proceed to the Boat Drop Off location near the public boat launch, again detailed on the Festival Overview Map. After dropping your boat, find a place to park and then proceed to Race-Kit Pick-Up.
