Town Hall, Carleton Place, Ottawa Ontario

We invite you and your kids (11 and under - boys and girls) to Carleton Place, for the Wylie Ryan Carleton Place Kids' 1Km Run.  The Run will be a neat one, with a combination of forested paths and safe local roads, and is associated with the Carleton Place Heritage Run and the Graham Beasley Triathlon being held at the same venue - Centennial Park.

The Wylie Ryan Kids' 1Km is open to anyone 11 and under. Parents or older siblings are allowed to jog-a-long with the smaller ones in the Wylie Ryan, to keep them company - at no cost.

Bring the kids out to watch the older folks run the 5Km, 10Km, or participate in the triathlon or duathlon, and then enjoy their own 1Km.   Everyone who enters on time, gets a with souvenir shirt, a timing chip, finish medal (if they finish!), and treats after the race.

championchip timing - by sportstats
We use ChampionChip Timing at all Somersault races. This timing system requires that all participants wear a ChampionChip Bracelet on their ankle (Anklet) during the race. This bracelet contains a computer chip that allows the kids to be timed. 

The kids are responsible for obtaining their ChampionChip Bracelet on race morning from the timing people at the Sportstats Tent near the Finish Line.  Do this at least 30 minutes before their race - you will need their race number to obtain the chip. 

The ChampionChip Bracelet must be returned immediately after the kids cross the finish line.  You are responsible for the bracelet cost if it is not returned - and it is expensive.

results (age of december 31, 2011)
The kids personal results will be posted very soon after they finish the race.  Please check the results as soon as you can, to be sure they are accurate.  If  there are discrepancies, go to the Sportstats Van near the Finish Line and provide them with the information you think is correct. 

Remember we use the participant's age at December 31, 2011- not their race day age - for result purposes.

Results will be posted at http://www.somersault.ca/results.htm within 24 hours of the race.
