Wintercross 5k
Sold out last year and this is possibly our last year. The XC Nationals will be held in Vancouver in 2011
The Wintercross 5k sold out last year. The quality of the race suffers with more than 200 runners. In order to accommodate the demand, we will run two races this year, and in the traditional XC fashion, one will be for women only, and in order that no one feels left out, the other race will be for men only. Both will be limited to 200 runners. For more info
The course is a hilly two-loop 5k race in the North Arboretum of the University of Guelph, held in conjunction with the Canadian National Cross-Country Championships.
This race is run all on soft surface, grass, dirt, mulch or snow. It has possibly the best spectator support of any race in Canada, with more than a thousand people lining the barricades alongside the last hill.
The race will be run at 9:45am on November 27th. Online registration available soon.
