Welcome to Trail Fix! We are thrilled to have you join us for this 110km point-to-point relay trail journey. This guide will provide you with all the information that you’ll need to prepare for Race Day. Each section includes important details that you’ll want all of your team members to be aware of, so please make certain that it is circulated among the team for review. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at info@stormevents.ca

SECTION 1. GENERAL OVERVIEW

Trail Fix is a 110km point-to-point trail relay for teams of four. The course is made up of 10 stages broken into 16 race legs.

Stages 1 and 10 are completed four times each (8 legs). Stages 2 through 9 are

completed once (8 legs). Teams are entirely free to divvy the legs up as they like.

For a team splitting the legs into 4 per team member, the typical distance range

would be between 22 to 32 kilometres per runner.

There are 6 Transition Areas (TAs) on the course where runners alternate between race legs.

Teams must have one (1) designated team vehicle to caravan themselves between the TAs. At Check-In, teams are issued a parking pass for their team vehicle, as well as a driving guide to the TA locations.

Cut-off times will be implemented at various points on the course. Teams that

are not going to make a cut-off time will be permitted to “SimulFix,” where the outgoing runner may be sent out onto the next leg before the incoming runner arrives. This will allow teams to complete two legs simultaneously. Further details are provided in Section 4.

Each team will be issued a SPORTident timing card which they will use to

punch ‘in’ and ‘out’ at the Transition Areas. A SPORTident control box will digitally record in/out times onto your card, and the data will later be downloaded and entered into the overall results at the Finish Line.

A second SPORTident card will be issued at designated TAs prior to the

cut-off times. This card is given to the outgoing runner, so that they may start a new leg before the incoming teammate arrives. Teams will then be able to complete two legs at a time (or “SimulFix”) from that point forward.

The finish line site at Albion Hills Conservation Area is where Stages 8, 9 and 10

converge, and will feature a post-race BBQ & beer garden. Teams are welcome to set up transition spaces around the finish area for the afternoon/evening.

Albion Hills also features over 200 serviced and serviced campsites

throughout the park. Campsite booking details are provided in Section 10.

SECTION 2.1 PRE-RACE INSTRUCTIONS (see following page for maps and directions) Check-In will be at the main chalet of the Albion Hills Conservation Area (16500 Peel Regional Road 50).

As teams will be permitted to use only one vehicle to move between transition areas, all other racer vehicles must

be left at the Cedar Grove parking area at Albion Hills (follow signs for “Day Parking/Overflow Parking”)

Please note that teams may only check in if all team members are present.

There will be no exceptions to this rule.

At Check-In, you will receive:

- Race bibs, souvenirs, meal tickets, wristbands per racer - Your team’s SPORTident timing card - A Transition Area driving guide and team vehicle parking pass - Waivers, to be signed by each competitor (available at the end of this document)

Once your team has checked in, proceed directly in your team vehicle

(one vehicle only) to Terra Cotta Conservation Area. Race Staff will provide parking direction upon your arrival at Terra Cotta. Instructions on the race start and transition area procedures will be given at the pre-race

briefing at 8:30am. At least one member from each team must be in attendance at the briefing.

Awards Ceremonies/Race Categories

Prizing will be presented at the Awards Ceremonies to top finishers in each category, and medals to the top three. All team members must be 40 years or older to qualify for Masters Divisions. Coed teams must have at least one member of the opposite sex.

SECTION 2.2 HOW TO GET THERE

Moving from Check-In at Albion Hills Conservation Area to the Race Start at Terra Cotta Conservation Area:

- Proceed to the park main entrance/exit and turn right onto Highway 50 - 6km > turn right onto Emil Kolb Parkway - 3.2km > turn right at the roundabout onto King Street (County Rd 9) - 23km > turn right onto Winston Churchill Blvd. - 1.75km > turn left into the Terra Cotta Conservation Area - Proceed to Lot “P3”

16500 Peel Regional Road 50 to 14452 Winston Churchill Blvd

ALLOW YOURSELF AT LEAST 30-40 MINUTES TO GET TO THE START SITE FROM CHECK-IN!

SECTION 3. RACE RULES - GENERAL Note that violations of race rules may result in a team’s disqualification. Race Officials (including volunteers) have the authority to disqualify teams for any such rule violations, as well as for abusive behavior or refusal to follow instruction.

All team members must be present at Check-In prior to Race Start. The team that arrives at Check-In is the team that will be permitted on the racecourse – no exceptions. Runners will be issued wristbands at Check-In that will be used to validate official team members in Transition Areas and on the course.

The maximum number of racers on a team is four (4) runners. Teams are permitted to compete with only 2 or 3 runners if they choose.

Teams are free to divvy up the stages among their runners any way that they wish - there are no restrictions on

how many legs any team member completes. So long as a team has separate completion times logged on their timing cards for all 16 race legs, their results will be considered official. If any race leg is not completed, the team will be considered “not officially ranked” in the finish results.

Stage 1 and Stage 10 must be completed four times each. A typical scenario would have each team member

running each of these stages once, but it is not mandatory. Race legs may not be split up between team members. Runners may only tag off between teammates at

designated Transition Areas – they may not do so at any other point on the course.

Only outgoing runners waiting to tag off with their incoming teammates will be permitted inside the Transition Area chutes.

Runners are responsible for ensuring that they punch ‘in’ and ‘out’ at the timing stations at each Transition Area.

Failure to have an in or out time recorded may result in a team not being credited for completing the leg.

Pacers are not permitted. Only one team member may complete a race leg at a time.

SECTION 3.1 RACE RULES - TEAMS Members of a team may be changed, but only if notification is given prior to Race Day. All racers must check-in prior to the start of the race, and must sign a race waiver. Any participants under the

age of 18 must have a parent or guardian co- sign these waivers. Racers under 16 years of age must be on a team that includes at least one adult.

SECTION 3.2 RACE RULES - EQUIPMENT Teams are permitted only one (1) designated team vehicle – no other vehicles will be permitted into Transition

Areas. Teams will be issued a parking pass which must be made visible upon entry to the TA parking areas.

All racers must have their race bib visible and their wristband on their wrist at all times during the race. Replacement costs for lost SPORTident timing cards will be charged to the team at a fee of $50

SECTION 3.4 RACE RULES - OTHER

Runners must follow the direction given at road crossings by Police Officers or Course Marshals. The determination of when it is safe to cross is at their discretion, and may not be challenged.

Littering on the course or at any of the Transition Areas is strictly prohibited. Use of personal music devices is permitted, but discouraged. If you use one, please keep one ear free from

headphones, and keep your music at a low level.

As much as we love dogs, they are not permitted either on the course or in the Transition Areas. We’ll be keeping our dogs at home for this reason, so we need to kindly ask that you to do the same.

Consumption of alcohol is not allowed anywhere on the course other than in the permitted areas at the finish

zone inside Albion Hills Conservation Area.

SECTION 4. CUT-OFF TIMES AND SIMULFIXING A process we refer to as “SimulFixing” will be put in place to ensure that all teams can finish the course in full. There will be two cut-off times imposed on the racecourse, but not making those cut-offs will not impact a team’s ranking, or result in disqualification. Teams that do not make a cut-off will instead be allowed to run stages simultaneously; sending their outgoing runner out onto the next leg before the incoming runner arrives. Teams that SimulFix will be issued a second SPORTident timing card so that there can be two runners completing different legs at once. Secondary timing cards will be issued thirty minutes prior to the two cut-off times. It is highly recommended that teams take their secondary timing card if they are in a transition area during this half-hour timeframe, even if they feel that their incoming runner will arrive before the cut-off. Doing so will at least give them the option to SimulFix on later stages if need be. The cut-offs will be as follows - teams will not be permitted to begin the next stage after these two times: 1:00pm - cut-off at the end of Stage 3 (Terra Cotta Transition Area)

5:00pm - cut-off at the end of Stage 6 (Inglewood Transition Area) Note that runners that begin a SimulFix leg (ie. before their incoming runner arrives) must punch ‘out’ at the SPORTident control box at the Transition Area of the leg they are starting. Failure to do so will result in your team not being credited for the leg. Be sure to check with Race Staff at the TA before leaving. By SimulFixing, teams may need to prepare to have runners at more than one Transition Area. Drive times between TAs are fairly short, but teams will want to pay close attention to the time estimates provided in the Section 7 tracking tool so that they can manage their runner logistics accordingly. Keep in mind though that by SimulFixing, it will be your cumulative leg times that will be recorded rather than your elapsed time, so you don’t need to worry as much about meeting your incoming runner as soon as they arrive. Teams are free to SimulFix at any time following the first cut-off. Completion times from both primary and secondary timing cards will be merged at the Finish Area.

SECTION 5. THE STAGES Stage 1 - Terra Cotta Loop (x4) Stage 6 - Forks of the Credit to Inglewood Stage 2 - Terra Cotta to Silver Creek Stage 7 - Inglewood to Caledon East Stage 3 - Silver Creek to Terra Cotta Stage 8 - Caledon East to Albion Hills Stage 4 - Terra Cotta to Inglewood Stage 9 - Albion Hills One Stage 5 - Inglewood to Forks of the Credit Stage 10 - Albion Hills Two (x4)

STAGE 2 Name: Rock This Way Route: Terra Cotta to Silver Creek Distance: 8.7km Elevation: +184m / -151m Trail Types: Moderate, Easy, Technical, Very Technical Difficulty Rank: 4th of 10 Stage 2 follows the Stage 1 route through Terra Cotta, then breaks off to head south and onward to the ruggedly beautiful Silver Creek Conservation Area. Runners will follow a rolling ridge overlooking a gorgeous escarpment valley, then dance along rocky rooty trails leading you over creeks and streams and through to the transition area. Keep your head up on this leg!

STAGE 1 Name: Déjà vu Route: Terra Cotta Loop Distance: 2.4km Elevation: +26m / -26m Trail Types: Moderate, Easy Difficulty Rank: 10th of 10 Starting at the Terra Cotta Conservation Area, Trail Fix begins with a fast and furious starting loop around Wolf Lake. This 2.4km stage is completed four times - typically, once per team member. This beautiful rolling loop winds through open doubletrack - perfect for getting the legs jump-started for the day ahead!

STAGE 4 Name: Blissful Duplicity Route: Terra Cotta to Inglewood Distance: 12.8km Elevation: +53m / -111m Trail Types: Moderate, Easy Difficulty Rank: 6th of 10 Back at the starting area, Stage 4 runners will officially begin their north-eastward attack. They'll first face a rolling and very scenic trail section leading out of Terra Cotta Conservation Area, before hopping a trail stile to the western edge of the Caledon Trailway. From here it's rail-trail running bliss through rural countryside as you make your way to the transition area in the historic Village of Inglewood.

STAGE 3 Name: Moonraker Route: Silver Creek to Terra Cotta Distance: 12.7km Elevation: +238m / -275m Trail Types: Moderate, Easy, Technical, Very Technical Difficulty Rank: 2nd of 10 Stage 3 gets its name from the moon-like terrain that you'll encounter in some sections, as we're now into Escarpment Country at its finest! This stage offers the complete package of trail elements - you'll pass through rugged rocky stretches, big valley descents, bridge crossings over moving streams, stair-climbing and even some boulder-hopping! Send your best trail dancer on this one!

STAGE 6 Name: Devil Takes the Credit Route: Forks of the Credit to Inglewood Distance: 13km Elevation: +260m / -407m Trail Types: Moderate, Easy, Technical, Very Technical Difficulty Rank: 1st of 10 Our Race Director's pick! While it may be the longest, this stage combines gorgeous trail running with some very cool features. The most noteworthy being the infamous Devil's Pulpit - a legendary ascent of the Niagara Escarpment that first feels like passing through a lush BC rain forest, then smacks you with a final sting up a 35-foot cliff face. From there it's smooth sailing back down to Inglewood, and to the final third of the course.

STAGE 5 Name: Stick a Fork in Me, I'm Done Route: Inglewood to Forks of the Credit Distance: 11.8km Elevation: +355m / -228m Trail Types: Moderate, Easy, Technical Difficulty Rank: 3rd of 10 Things are looking up! Literally. The route to the Forks of the Credit Prov. Park takes you through some spectacularly scenic stretches of trail, paired with some noticeable gains in elevation. This stage also features the only significant road section, generously positioned mid-way through. You'll both climb and descend as you make your way north towards the heart of the Credit River watershed, and to the beautiful open meadows of the Forks.

STAGE 8 Name: Run for the Hills Route: Caledon East to Albion Hills Distance: 9km Elevation: +85m / -107m Trail Types: Moderate, Easy Difficulty Rank: 8th of 10 Stage 8 leads you from the charming village of Caledon East to the southern boundary of Albion Hills Conservation Area. Rail trail will bring you most of the way to the transition, but the final stretch of the leg is where its name takes shape, as you begin climbing your way into the hills of Albion along forested doubletrack. Once you arrive, your team is here to stay, as you're now at the final transition of the course.

STAGE 7 Name: Pain Train Route: Inglewood to Caledon East Distance: 11.2km Elevation: +37m / -14m Trail Types: Easy Difficulty Rank: 9th of 10 Stage 7 is the one where road runners shine the most! No dawdling for the team vehicle here, as this flat and fast section is 100% rail trail from Inglewood through to Caledon East. This beautifully canopied leg passes alongside rural farmsteads and over Credit River tributaries, inching you ever-closer to the final stages at Albion Hills.

STAGE 10 Name: Flush Me Route: Albion Hills Loop 2 Distance: 4.3km Elevation: +130m / -130m Trail Types: Moderate, Easy Difficulty Rank: 7th of 10 This is it! The Trail Fix race experience concludes with a short final loop within Albion Hills that is completed four times - typically, once per team member. We don't let you off easy though - this stage begins with an ascent of the Green Monster, followed by an equally big climb on the other side. Runners then circle around old Lake Albion, follow rolling trail back to the transition, and re-unite as a team - spiking the finish of your incredible 110km journey!

STAGE 9 Name: Unidentified Stains Route: Albion Hills Loop 1 Distance: 6.9km Elevation: +192m / -192m Trail Types: Moderate, Easy Difficulty Rank: 5th of 10 Stage 9 captures some of the best of the rolling forested terrain that Albion Hills is so well-known for. This loop is all about open fields mixed with lush forest cover, and hard-packed singletrack mixed with gentle soft-trail doubletrack. You'll circle the northern half of the park and return to the transition/finish area, to prepare for your team's assault on the grande finale stage.

Things to Bring: Headlamps - most teams should be finished before dark, but best to have some on-hand just in case!

Rain Gear - pop-up tents, umbrellas, rain jackets. If you’ve got it, bring it! Transitions Areas will not have shelter, so you will want to be prepared in the event of poor weather.

Food/water - bring lots! Even split up among four team members, 110km is a lot of running!

Cups/water bottles - this is a cupless event, so please come prepared. Camp chairs - for Transition Area and post-race hanging out.

First Aid Kit - we will have medics on-course, but just so that you can address blisters, cuts or scrapes as needed.

SECTION 8. FAQS

Does each team member have to run four legs? No. So long as the 16 legs are completed, you are free to divvy up them among teammates any way you like. Does each team member have to run Stages 1 and 10? No. As long as there are four completions of both Stages 1 and 10, we leave it up to you as to who does them. These are short stages, so it does make sense that both would be run by each team member, but it is not mandatory. Does my team have to be made up of four runners? No. Four is the maximum, but we will allow teams to compete with three or two runners if they wish. Solo racing is not permitted. Do all team members have to be present at Check-In? Yes, each team member must be at Check-in prior to Race Start. Those racers who are at Check-In are those who will be permitted on the racecourse - no exceptions. Wristbands will be issued at Check-In to validate runners on the racecourse. Can spectator vehicles go to the Transition Areas? Unfortunately no. Only one vehicle per team will be permitted into the Transition Areas. Teams will be issued a parking permit which will be checked at TAs. This rule will be strictly enforced. What is the total distance I will be running? That depends entirely on how your team decides to break up the legs. If a team were to split the 16 legs into 4 legs each for all four team members, the typical range would be between 22-32km per person. However, teams are entirely free to divvy the legs among teammates however they see fit. Are pacers allowed? Pacers are not permitted, and race legs may not be split up between team members. Only one runner may complete a race leg at a time. Will I be running in the dark? With the SimulFix option available, most teams should be finished before dark, but it is conceivable that the final legs in Albion Hills could be completed after sunset for some teams (darkness falls at around 8:00pm in early September). Best practice is to have a few headlamps ready just in case. Will there be aid stations? We will not be offering the typical aid stations of a solo trail race, given that teams will have regular access to their team vehicles. However, we will have water and snacks available at select TAs. Local amenities are available in the communities of Terra Cotta, Cheltenham, Belfountain and Caledon East - each of which will be within minutes of your travels between Transition Areas. Will there be washrooms on the course? Yes - each Transition Area will have washrooms available. Will there be shelter at Transition Areas? No - each of the TAs will be at outdoor facilities. Your vehicle will be your primary shelter in the event of poor weather, but we highly recommend also having rain gear available such as umbrellas, pop-up tents or rain jackets. Will there be food at the Finish Line? Hell yes! A post-race BBQ and beer garden will await you at the finish zone inside Albion Hills Conservation Area.

SECTION 9. VOLUNTEERS

Have some friends or family coming along to watch you in action? Volunteers are the backbone of events like these, and we graciously welcome anyone who wants to join the Race Staff team! Volunteers are treated with the highest regard at Storm Racing, and we make every effort to ensure that the experience is both rewarding and enjoyable. All volunteers are offered a $25 credit* towards future entry fees at any of our events, as well as an official race shirt; bagged lunch or ticket to the post-race meal; the support of a dedicated Course Manager on Race Day; not to mention the undying thanks of the organizers! And as an added bonus for registered teams, this credit is offered in the form of a rebate for any referral of a volunteer over the age of 13 and willing to commit to a minimum 5-hour shift. * To a maximum of $50. Please note that this offer cannot be redeemed through the online registration system.

If you or someone you know would like to volunteer, please contact us at info@stormevents.ca and we'll be certain to respond right away!

SECTION 10. ACCOMMODATIONS

Host to North America's largest 24-hour mountain bike relay, Albion Hills Conservation Area is the perfect venue for a finish area gathering spot, with ample open grassy space for setting up comfy hang-outs to chill with your teammates and fellow runners. Albion Hills also just happens to be a fantastic place to camp, with over 200 serviced or unserviced tent and trailer sites throughout the park. Wake up and walk to Check-In, or slip your tired bones directly into your sleeping bag at the end of the day, by reserving a campsite for either Friday or Saturday night. Booking details are available here.

SECTION 11. REFUND POLICY

Entry into Trail Fix is to be viewed as an all-in commitment made at the point of registration – please note that entry fees may only be refunded to a maximum of 50% of the total amount paid if the request is made anytime before the six weeks leading up to the event date, and that no refunds will be offered under any circumstances within those six weeks prior to the event.

Requests to transfer entry fees to other events within the Storm Racing series will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, but will not be considered when the request is made within three weeks of the event date.

As per the race rules, teams are permitted to compete with less than 4 team members. Team categories and/or members of a team can also be changed, but notification must be given prior to Race Day.

In the event that a race is cancelled or postponed due to factors beyond our control, (including, but not limited to, severe weather, war, flood, pandemic, or any factor that may make the operation of the event dangerous to participants, staff and volunteers), Storm Racing will make every effort to reschedule the race to a later date of its choosing. However, no refunds will be issued if a re-scheduled date is not possible. If a new date is offered, no refund will be granted to registrants who are unable to participate in the rescheduled event.
