Races in this year's event include the Nutrience Half Marathon, the 10K, the 10K Student Relay and the Whole Foods Market 2K Fun Run/ Walk. The 10K runs will begin at 7:30 a.m., followed by the half marathon at 7:40 a.m. and the 2K run/walk at 7:45 a.m. Local residents make up approximately 40 per cent of the field, which continues to grow each year. Runners and walkers from across the Greater Toronto Area and the province are also expected to participate, as are athletes from the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, Bermuda and Switzerland. After beginning at Coronation Park, the route for 10K and halfmarathon races will continue east on Lakeshore Road until the south side of Suffolk Avenue. At that point, half marathon participants will continue east to Morrison Road, loop around and join the 10K course once again on the north side of Suffolk Avenue. The courese will then travel west on Rebecca Street, south on Jones Street and east back to Coronation Park where it will merge with the 2K loop within the park boundaries. To view a map of the route, visit www.oakvillehalfmarathon.com. A Runner's Expo will be held Saturday at Coronation Park from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Participants in the Nutrience Oakville Half Marathon are required to pick up their race kits at this time.
