4th Annual Canadian SPE Half Marathon
1st Annual Canadian SPE 5 Mile Run

New in 2006 is CHIP timing thanks to Crape Geomatics.

By popular demand, we are adding a 5 Mile (8 km) race to our event. At this point, this will NOT be a certified and sanctioned course. Sorry about any confusion.

Thanks to our sponsor Crape Geomatics, CHIP timing will be used to more accurately record your time and to provide faster access to your time.

ONLINE REGISTRATION is now available at http://www.eventsonline.ca/events/spe/. For mail-in or drop-off registration forms, please see that attached PDF version of the registration form.
