Church to Church (Spring Marathon edition)
Event Information
Description
A 19.2 mile road race on the traditional Church to Church route passing by each parish church. We will have 2 start times, 8.30 am for those who think they will be a bit slower, 9am for the pacier folk to try & bring the finish times a bit closer together.
We are recommending all runners be self sufficient with regards water, gels etc. We will have a couple of water stops with options for topping up your own bottles.
The course is marked using white painted arrows at road junctions and there are several mile markers along the way.
This race is on roads with traffic & is not marshalled so please take care, keep left and be aware of your surroundings.
The race is steeped in history, and was traditionally a walking race. Rob Elliot has put together some great reading which can be found on the Sarnia Walking clubs site at the link below:
