Guardian participation and supervision of children is required. Guardians, please be prepared with nutrition, hydration and tools as desired. No on-course mechanical support or food/drink stations will be provided. First aid will be available but, bringing a few of your own bandaids or other supplies just in case certainly wouldn’t hurt.

Event parking will be available within the main Hartland lots and roadside alongside Hartland Avenue, with tires off pavement and clear of residential driveways. To reduce vehicle volume, please consider carpooling or choosing an active mode of transportation to/from the event. 

Spectators are welcome to hike or ride to areas of the course. Please stick to sanctioned, established trails if doing so; being respectful and aware of other park users, along with the delicate flora and fauna. 

Bringing fido? In adherence to the Parks Regulation Bylaw, they must be under control at all times.
