| Course Information |
A beautiful run that
encompasses much of Mississauga's beauty.
This point to point course is a fast net downhill.
The course starts at Mississauga's City Hall,
and makes its way west across the Credit River
to Mississauga Road and then travels south for
a beautiful stretch past the University of Toronto's
Mississauga Campus, Mississaugua Golf and Country
Club, and continues through some of Mississauga's
most beautiful residential neighbourhoods, before
winding along the scenic Lake Ontario Waterfront
Trail, and finishing on the edge of Lake Ontario
at Lakefront Promenade Park. Small
inclines are found at 10km and 30km. The 'net'
downhill aspect of this race still exists, however,
with a 250' (or 80m) drop from start to finish.
Course map
- Aid Stations at approximately every 2km mark
