This was the second year for this event. And the course itself was much more fun. Registration was easy online however racers stated they were unable to locate the waiver so there was a lineup at the registration desk for those having to fill out the form. A few people seemed to have them already completed but I am uncertain how they received them in advance. Everyone who raised 150.00 received a 'free' t-shirt and it was a nice vee neck tech tee in mint green. There was ample parking on site and you could park VIP for an additional $5.00. The event was held to support the Canadian Cancer Society and had approx. 800 participants including 150 mini-mudders that got to participate in a condensed version of the adult course. Men could race at the end of the day for an additional cost and then volunteers were offered the opportunity to race the last heat as they swept the course for stragglers. The weather held out for much of the day and we only had a few showers on and off until the very end of the day when it poured incessantly. The course covered a 5K figure 8 and offered many traditional obstacles, such as over/under's, crawls, walls, carries, climbs, a few spider webs, lots of cargo net crawls and some great mud pits. The SUP crossing was a nice touch to cross the small river and then you looped back and into a large road pipe that went under and back towards the river and it had some shorter racers swimming towards the shore and into the mucky ditch to carry on. There were a few more obstacles in the woods as we looped back towards the main vendor village. There they had the final slide into a muddy pit and you were gladly hosed off by the waiting Kingston Fire department who also participated in the fun and kept racers wet from start to finish. There was a nice finishers medal and sliced fruit and water with a water station at the 1/2 mark along the course. The course itself was well marked this year and was clearly visible. The vendors had some interesting booths set up and there were a few raffles offered and prizes for largest donations gathered by racers and largest teams. Some people chose to wear costumes which added to the festivities. The mini mudder course was well received and offered a challenge to racers 5-13 years old. Parents could run along beside their children and cheer them on towards the finish line. There were top 3 prizes for each age category. Some sponsors at the event were Cardiac Science, Attention Getters, BioPed -who took shoe donations to give to Soles4Souls for those in need and of course Sunlife one of the main sponsors. A fairly flat course, family friendly with ample change rooms and port-o-potties on site. Average swag bag with toothpaste, Gatorade and flyers. Recommendations: better signage at registration, when checking in, provide SWAG bag directly without sending racers to a secondary table and decrease the amount of time between heats to keep racers engaged along the course. Also, do not have everyone wear a life jacket to cross the river, just have it optional for those who request it as it caused quite a delay at that one obstacle.
