2017 Lakeside Pre-Race Information

Please watch your speed! A friendly reminder that the speed limit on Sunova Crescent is 50km/h. Lakeside community has many families living around the lake with small children. We ask that you reduce your speed and do not exceed the speed limit at any point during the event, whether you are arriving or leaving. Thank you for your diligence.

Lakeside Resort will also charge a fee to spectators of the events a fee of $4.00 per spectator with a portion of the proceeds going to the church in Lakeside. This fee is similar but less than would normally be paid at a Conservation Area. Bring your swim suits and enjoy the beach after the athletes have finished the swim portion of the race. THERE ARE NO DOGS ALLOWED ON THE PROPERTY OF LAKESIDE RESORT. PLEASE MAKE ARRANGEMENTS SO YOU DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG(S).
