Hot off the press - race news

The Toad is sold out as of this morning! Congrats to all of you who are participating.

Landmark Sports Group, organizers of the BRAND NEW Oakville Half Marathon on Labour Day, September 3, 2007 have agreed to have walker registration and divisions in both the10k and half marathon events. This change to registration will be made to their website within a few days. http://www.oakvillehalfmarathon.com/

This is very exciting and I hope that ALL Oakville power walkers, and especially WoW Power Walkers, will sign up for either event, get a friend to sign up, get your mother to sign up, volunteer for a WoW water station, put up posters, and generally support this great new local race.

I have it on good authority the race starts at Coronation park, heads east along Lakeshore to Morrison Heights, north to Cynthia then Melvin to Chartwell, Chartwell south to MacDonald, MacDonald to Douglas (our favourite walking street!), west on Randall and then Rebecca to Jones, south on Jones to Ontario Street, east on Ontario to the Waterfront Trail at the corner of Ontario & East, east along the waterfront trail until it emerges on Water’s Edge Drive, east along Waters Edge to Third Line, north on Third Line to Old Lakeshore Road, east along Old Lakeshore Rd, through the cul-de-sac, cross Belvedere to Lakeshore Road shoulder, east along the shoulder of Lakeshore Rd W. to the west entrance of Coronation Park, south along park drive to the finish line near the stage facility. There may be changes as required by local authorities, but it's still a super route through our beautiful town.
