Things to be aware of
We recommend participants, spectators and residents to use public transport. The metro, S-trains and regional trains will run normally on race day. Please note that several bus routes will be diverted on race day.
S-trains and Metro will all stop within walking distance of the start and finish area.
Pedestrians and cyclists are not allowed on the route, but it is possible to cross the course when there are no runners. However, several sections are fully fenced, so you have to walk along the route before you can cross it. Always follow instructions from race officials when crossing the course
We recommend using public transport around the city or avoiding areas close to the route on race day. It will be possible to cross the city, but allow extra time for queues and detours. If possible, choose a route that avoids the course.
Use the course map to orientate yourself on traffic conditions on your route if you will be driving on race day.
