TUR 008
The
2009 TUR has been cancelled. Next event will be on May 1st 2010.
The race directors have endeavoured with the support of the OUS
and ACU to avoid this decision but simply put the 2009 race cannot
occur with the minimum standard of attention that we deem as acceptable
for this great event and great City.
- John Remington, Coordinator
Date: Sat. May 3, 2008 Start Time: 7:30 am (all events)

location:
Summerlea Park on Albion Road (north of the 401 and east of Islington
Ave, Toronto, map to park) Course: This fast and flat course is entirely on bike paths running east and then south for 5k before turning around in Maple Bush Park. Maple Bush Park is accessed off Weston Road just before the 401 but parking is minimal here. The bike path is wide, rebuilt, and infrequently traveled. There are a few metal bridge crossings over the beautiful Humber River and one unused road crossing (old Weston Road). The course runs underneath the 401 before crossing the river a final time before the turn around. Each kilometre will be marked and all 10k splits will be recorded. Time limit: Time limit is 14 hours. However running after night time will be the runners responsibility. Support provided until 9 pm. Facilities: Portaloo facility will be available at the starting area. There are no shower or indoor facilities. Timing: Electronic Chip timing to all pre-registered in all events. Aid Stations: There are two aid stations; at the start and at the turn around. Hammergel and low-fat soya milk will be available along with other foods.
