Ankle chips will be handed out on Thursday evening at the CBRC tent.

STROLLERS, ROLLER BLADES, ETC., ARE NOT PERMITTED

This is a running and walking only event. For safety reasons you cannot run with a stroller or anything similar. Rollerblades, etc., are also not permitted.

REGISTRATION LIMIT

To avoid course congestion, there is a limit of 200 participants for the in person event.

Corporate Challenge

IF YOU WISH TO ENTER A CORPORATE CHALLENGE TEAM, PLEASE EMAIL cornerbrookrun@gmail.com TO HAVE IT ADDED TO THE REGISTRATION OPTIONS.

A corporate team must have a minimum of 3 members but there is no maximum number. A team may be made up of employees and members of their immediate families, but at least 50% of the team must be employees. When registering for the BMO Downtown Dash each member will indicate his/her Corporate team. Each team member will pay the standard individual race fee for registration. Points are given for both participation and performance.

Points are awarded in reverse finish order and then added up for all team members. Lets just say there are 125 finishers. Team A has five runners that finish 10th, 15th, 25th 30th and 50. The total points would be 116 111 101 96 76 = 500. Team B has ten runners who finish 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110. Total points would be 106 96 86 76 66 56 46 36 26 16 = 610. Team B wins. So, the more members the better, and if you have a couple of speedsters you may get an edge. But the final point tally tells all! The winning teams will be awarded the coveted BMO Corporate Challenge Plaque for display in their place of business. They’ll need to challenge again next year to keep it!
