The course
Our race course is a 3km lap of Christie Pits Park, starting at the South near Bloor Street, weaving around the jungle gym, community garden, basketball courts, sports fields and up and down the banks of the pit. Riders will encounter sand, pavement, grass and gravel on a challenging and technical course.
The race course has designated crossings for spectators and to allow access to other park amenities and pedestrian flow. Registration and team tents are located near the gazebo and playground, and the beer tent will be set up near the Christie Climb.
​
The free kids "Try-a-race" (U12) has a shortened course.
Review our Tech Guide for more details on the course and event.
