H+P Last Chance 5K
About the race
It’s your last chance to hit a fast 5K time before winter crushes us!
Fast but fair course, very spectator friendly. The 5K segment has been wheel measured, so it is accurate.
Heat times
- First heat is at 8:30AM (SUB 19)
- Second heat is at 8:55AM (19-23:00)
- 3rd heat is at 9:25 (23:00+)
Timing
This will be done using the segment results WITH hand timing. Hand timing will be the gold standard, but we will cross-reference with the Strava segment and your self-timed result for any discrepancies.
For Strava to work
- Make sure to restart your watch before the race
- Make sure your activity is public
- Make sure you have turned off hide end/start point
Self timing
- You will get a popsicle stick with your position when you cross the line
- Make sure to see our timers after your race to provide your self-timed result as a back up
- Results will be posted on https://hpwr.scrw.ca/
Odds are your watch will not be accurate on this loop. There's a good chance your watch will say you ran ~5.2K. The course is wheel measured and the gun time is accurate!
Parking
Close-by residential streets are fine, but Costco is the closest major parking lot to jog over from!
The course
This is a 5K segment run in three timed heats. The course is fast but fair and very spectator friendly. The segment has been wheel measured, so it is accurate, while GPS watches will likely not be.
Back-up course plan
We got super lucky multiple years in a row now! If this loop is covered in snow or closed due to construction, we have a few back up options lined up.
