Race Course & Features

  • Chip timing by Atlantic Chip Timing giving accurate and immediate results.
  • Race course designed so each leg will start and finish at Brudenell Provincial Park.
  • Raffle tickets instead of pledges.

Course
The race will consist of 5 legs:
Leg 1: Run. Approx. 7.75km (Fun-Raising teams may split)
Leg 2: Road Bike. Approx. 27 km. (Fun-Raising teams may split)

Race start time will be 9 am, course will be closed at 2:30 and anyone still remaining on the course after that time will be unsupported: no traffic control, no volunteers, no boat safety, no water stations.

Divisions

This year the Red Island Relay will have two divisions:
  1. Open Division : This is for competitive racers.
  2. "Fun-Raising" Division : This is a way to identify teams whose goal is to raise funds, complete the race and have fun. "Fun-raising" participants will have the option to have more than 6 team members, and use up to 2 people to complete each of the first four legs at recommended transition areas. The transition points will be:
    LEG 1 Water Station (4.5 km mark)
