Muskoka Marathon has 5K & 10K routes certified

10/11/2021

0 Comments

 
Although the event has already happened, those who participated may be interested to know that early in the week of the race,  race organizer, Jed Corbeil, and his committee,  decided to ask Coach Pimm to measure and facilitate  both the 5K and 10K races be certified by Athletics Canada.(Note - the races were run on a out and back route)  

This decision was precipitated by one of Canada's outstanding age group runners, Liz Schad,  who expressed a desire  to try for a Canadian record in the 65 to 69 year category for 5K.. And records can only be approved if performed on a certified route, in a sanctioned event.

As it happened, Liz just missed breaking the Canadian Record of 21:15, recording an outstanding 21:27. But that did break the Ontario record. So congrats Liz !!

    ATTENTION BOSTON MARATHON ASPIRANTS ! 

Bracebridge, Ontario has obtained sanctioning from Athletics Ontario to host the Muskoka Marathon on October 4/20, making it one of the few live Ontario marathons in 2020 as most other marathons have been converted to virtual events, or cancelled. 

In order to obtain all of the necessary permissions, the route and staging will be unique. 

The route starts and finishes at the one and only Santa's Village and travels mainly along both sides of the scenic Muskoka River.

Runners will run 2 loops of an out and back route. The run has very little elevation.

Coach Pimm was commissioned to measure the route in order for it to be eligible for Boston Marathon qualification. And Athletics Canada has granted Certification for the Marathon as well as the Half Marathon. You can see the official certificate HERE.

As for how the event will be conducted: from the Race Director, Jed Corbeil: 

"2020 has been an eye-opening year and we want to be as safe as possible for our participating runners and staff.  To ensure that we do not have gatherings over 100 people on site, once you have registered, we will send you a time slot for your run.  You will be grouped with 10 other runners in your time slot.  Please show up no earlier than 20 minutes before your run and go directly to your designated waiting area.  We will have no more than 10 runners leaving every 5 minutes.  Please respect the space of your competitors and make sure you stay at least 6 feet apart.
Thank you so much!  We are looking forward to a live race in Muskoka!"
Other races on the same weekend include a 5 km. and 10 km. on Saturday Oct, 3 and a Half Marathon on Sunday Oct. 4.
