Race Day Parking & Shuttle Information

There is NO race day parking at Shell Park!

Athlete Parking is at the Bronte Go Station – and shuttle service is by Oakville Transit.

Here is how to find the pick up location for the Oakville Transit shuttle bus:

Enter the go station lot from WYECROFT ROAD.
The pick up location is on the NORTH side of the train tracks, near Wyecroft and Third Line as indicated in the picture below, at bays 4 and 5.  
The shuttle buses for the event will say “Shuttle Bus” on them instead of a bus route. It is important you pick up the bus from bays 4 and 5 and do not get on another transit bus that is doing an Oakville city bus route.  Check with the driver when you get on as well.

IF you end up parked on the South side of the tracks, instead of driving around you could walk through the tunnel under the tracks and get to the North side that way.

Run a beautiful fast, flat and scenic course along the lakeshore in Oakville, exploring some of the picturesque neighborhoods along the way.  This is the perfect course and time of year to plan to run a personal best and/or bring the whole family for a day of active fun!

The race route starts at Shell Park, turns left onto Lakeshore and explores some of the neighborhoods to the south of Lakeshore.  It does a loop through beautiful Tannery Park before heading back to Shell Park.

Half Marathon 21.1km start: 7:30 AM
10km start: 7:50 AM
5km start: 8:00 AM

Aid Stations will be serving water and Gatorade hydration approximately every 3km on the course.  Portable toilets will be available at each aid station as well as at the start/finish line.

The cut off times will be 3.5 hours after the start of the 21.1k half marathon distance race.

For safety reasons, no dogs or strollers are allowed to take part in the race.
