Get up. Check the weather. Print off your route instructions and make sure you know how to get to the start (see below)

   08:00 Go to the farthest parking lot (west) and park as close to the beach as you can.  The gate doesn't open until 8 so don't get there too much before then. Meet at the Gazebo if it's raining.

How to get to the start (Buntzen Lake South Beach Parking lot)

  • Find your way to Port Moody, BC.
  • From where St. John’s Street meets the Barnet Hwy, take IoCo Road North
  • IoCo Rd. will turn into Heritage Mountain Blvd. There is a sign to Buntzen Lake here. Continue on Heritage Mountain Road until you hit the traffic circle
  • Take the first exit out of the traffic circle onto David Street. There is a Buntzen Lake sign here
  • Go left onto Forrest Park Way. There is a Buntzen Lake sign here.
  • Take an immediate Left on Aspenwood Dr. (it’s going to look like you are heading into a residential area here…. Your just going to have to trust me… this is the right way)
  • Aspenwood will turn into East Rd. Follow East Rd. for about 2km then make a right onto Sunnyside Drive.
  • Sunnyside Drive will take you directly to the Park. Follow the Park Rd. to the South Beach parking lot.

What to Bring?

  • Come equipped for the distance you are going to run and plan to be self sufficient for food and water (keep in mind if you are doing the 35K you could be out there for more than 7 hours so bring at least 3 litres of fluids).
  • Print out and bring your course description/maps (put them into a ziploc bag so they don't turn into mush)
  • Cellphone (although most of the park does not have cell service).
  • Towel and change of clothes. Don't expect a shower, but you might want to consider a post run swim in Buntzen Lake

Pre-Event breakfast

  • Because of the wide range of times and distances I am not planning a post run gathering.  Instead, I am going to have a pre-race parking lot/gazebo continental breakfast.
