DESCRIPTION

(Voir le bas de la page pour changer en français) Welcome to the second annual edition of La Baie Run! Funds will be donated to the Hawkesbury General Hospital Foundation.

Participants will be able to achieve their personal goals by running or walking their own race, anywhere and anytime between July 18th and July 25th, 2020! There will be the option to complete either a 1km, a 5km, a 10km, a half marathon, a full marathon, or a 72km ultra course, all while respecting the social-distancing recommendations set at that time.

Virtual Race

Starting July 18th at 6:00 am, participants will be able to use gps tracking for their run or walk by using their watch or smartphone (e.g., Strava app). Once your race is completed, you will be able to submit your results to La Baie Run (see results section below for instructions). You will have until July 25th at 11:59 pm to upload your results. After the event closes, a results sheet will be finalized, and participation prizes will be drawn at random on July 28th. See below for various ways to earn more entries to the draw. All participants can collect a kit with a commemorative medal, and sponsorship materials at one of our designated kit pick-up points (locations to be announced).
