Race Walk Information
Location: Parc du Lac Leamy, Gatineau, Quebec. The park is about 5km from downtown Ottawa, directly across the Ottawa River from Sussex Drive. Easy driving access via the MacDonald Cartier Bridge and Fournier Boulevard. Vehicle access from Fournier Blvd (or a pleasant 500m walk from the Hilton Hotel at the Lac Leamy Casino). Elevation approx. 65m AMSL.
Competition Area: The course uses a lap of 2000m: 800m of each lap is a loop, walked counter clockwise. The remainder is 600m “out-and-back” (=1200m). Each 500m will be marked. The course runs approximately north-south, with the start and finish at the north “beach” end and the loop at the south end.
The entire width of the park roads will be used. Athletes and race personnel only allowed on the competition area, defined as the roadway between the kerbs. The centre line of the “out-and-back” section will be marked by cones, with athletes proceeding in the right lane (keeping the cones to their left) and making one left-hand U-turn at the “beach” end. The road is flat; the surface is generally excellent.
Check-in, Washrooms, Recovery, Mixed Zone, Medical, Post-race Hospitality: At the beach end. Plenty of parking. Vehicle access will be controlled from Fournier Blvd, starting at 07:30, 30 minutes before the start. Limited vehicle access only after that time. During the recent flooding, the entire park was significantly under water and much of the infrastructure at the beach was destroyed. Shelter and picnic areas are available. Some temporary facilities will be brought in for the race, and in the event of inclement weather.
Start: At the beach end of the lap, proceeding south. The start is on the main access road, about 40m south of the parking machines. and about 60m south of the U-turn at the north end of the course. The entire width of the road will be available, with cones gradually narrowing the course to the right-hand lane after about 100m. The start line will also serve as the 2km timing point.
Finish: Also at the beach end, turning off the lap into a finishing straight, approximately 60m in length, that heads directly towards the beach. A chute will then continue into the Recovery area.
Refreshment Station: One, set up in the centre of the road at the freeway overpass approximately 400m into the lap. Available twice per loop, once in each direction. Water provided by race organizers. IAAF Rule 230-10 applies: in the 20 km races only, athletes may also place personal refreshments at a separate table at the station, but must have their own “authorized person” to organize and hand the personal refreshments as described in IAAF Rule 230-10(d) and (e).
