There are no age requirements for the Virtual 8K & 5K race distances. For anyone under 12, we encourage them to be accompanied by an adult.
In the case of an in-person race cancellation, participants will have the option to transfer into the virtual event or receive a refund.
Entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. That means that once the money is received and accepted, participants will not receive a refund and will not be able to defer their entry to another year.
We ask that anyone experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 on race day stay at home.
If you would like to receive your race kit, please have a friend or family member pick it up on your behalf.

The cost of the registration fee supports the staging of the event, including, but not limited to, the souvenir shirt, finisher medal, personalized bib, food and beverages before, during, and after the event, an official time run on a measured, certified, and secure course, a post-race experience, and more.
The fuller explanation is that we (Canada Running Series) take on all the responsibility and all the risk of the event. If at the end day when everything is paid for, there is a profit, that modest profit goes to CRS. And if there is a loss, that falls on us too. This way, our charities have a wonderful run experience for their community without the work, liability and risk. And this enables them to devote 100% of their time to fundraising, receive 100% of all donations, and have no fear of loss. We do not charge the charities a penny for providing the event and the fundraising opportunity.
