A MESSAGE FROM RACE DIRECTOR, JUSTIN NESBITT
Hello experienced and new runners and welcome back to another year of the Mudpuppy Chase Road Race! After having overwhelmingly good feedback about our new home at the David Johnson Research and Technology Park last year, we're excited to let you know that we'll be back there again for 2018. Our track is scenic as you head out to the University path that travels beside a babbling stream and our finish line area makes for great photo ops! On top of that our parking is just a hundred meters from the entire race campus making it easy to get to our start line and our warm-up tent. Thanks to all those who have joined us year after year. We look forward to having yet another amazing day on May 6th with 1,500 of our favourite Waterloo Region runners!
