The 3nd Annual Last Chance Triathlon and 2nd Annual Nepean Trail Run, provide the perfect opportunity to offer a Wylie Ryan event at the Nepean Sportsplex on Sunday September 19, 2010! Kids (11 & under) can join the adults and older kids in the fun and excitement, with a FUN 1K run on the wooded trails in the forest behind the Sportsplex. It is a short safe run for run/walk/jog along the hard packed gravel paths. Parents or siblings can jog-a-long with the younger ones for free. The Nepean Trail Run is the second last in the 2010 Wylie Ryan Series of events for kids 11 and under.

The Wylie Ryan Nepean Trail Run 1Km is a fun way to introduce the kids to running/walking/jogging. We invite you to bring your 1 to 11 year olds out for some exercise, free souvenir shirt, a finsher's medal and a chance at the draw prizes - strollers are allowed.

championship 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 as of december 31, 2010)
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, 2010 - not their race day age - for result purposes.

Results will be posted at http://www.somersault.ca/resultsrun.htm within 24 hours of the race and are available at RunnersWeb.com.

A parent or adult supervisor must accompany each participant during the run ( for free), and may be required to assist at the event.

The Wylie Ryan Nepean Trail 1Km Run is also a great opportunity for schools or clubs to raise some money by volunteering. It is a fun way to pick up a few hundred dollars.

Email us if you are interested in this opportunity, or if your club can provide 10 or more volunteers in return for a donation to the club.

newsletter updates
We will email 3 weekly Nepean Trail Run Newsletters to participants with the latest updates prior to the race.  These newsletters are very important as they will identify changes, answer your questions, and recommend race day procedures that will make your event day a better one. 

Please provide an accessible email address on your entry form if you wish to receive these Newsletters. You may want to use a personal email address rather than your work email, because many employers utilize filters that will not let the Newsletter through.
