Our route takes you from Warren Street, South on Carlow Rd to George St. You will continue South on William St. to Lotus Lane which takes you East to the Beach Trail. The beach trail continues South toward the lake and around the new park by the pier. Turning North alongside the picturesque pier will take you along the harbour to Bridge Street and over the lift bridge to Colborne/Main St to a turn around close to the beach! Heading back North up Main St./Colborne St. you will start climbing out of Port Stanley along Hwy 4. There are water stations at 3, 6, 9 and 12 km markers on the course until you turn East on Southdale and join up with the 10 km course. There is a water station at the left turn at the corner of Southdale and Lake Margaret Trail which takes you along a wide side walk to the path beside Lake Margaret - keep any eye out for the Geese! Lake Margaret will take you to the marked entrance to Pinafore Park's paved hiking trail. Follow the trail through the park, behind the pavilion and beside Pinafore Lake. You will pass the turn around for the 5 km run and then turn west onto Elm Street. After a short distance you will head North back onto the paved trail and pass by the Water station and portable washrrom. Continue along the paved trail and head East on the trail just past Centre street - you have about 400 meters to go! Lots of cheering to bring you along side the CASO Station, two quick left turns and a short sprint to the FINISH line!
