2016 Lakeside Pre-Race Report
Thank you for registering to race with us at Lakeside! We would like to thank Gabbi Whitlock & Janet Thompson for recruiting volunteers.
Once again, Lakeside plays host to the 2016 Triathlon Ontario Youth Cup Series!
We are very excited about our partnership with Recharge With Milk and the Recharge With Milk Triathlon Series! Look for the Recharge with Milk Team at the finish line for your sample of chocolate milk to help you Rehydrate, Refuel and Recharge after your race. Chocolate milk delivers an ideal mix of fluids to rehydrate, carbs to refuel and protein to recharge your body the wholesome way. Chocolate milk, the original recovery drink.
Lakeside Important News
- The parking area is about 150m South of the race site at the Northern Star Equestrian Farm. This will allow easier an easier post-race exit route. There will be signs directing you to the parking area.
- Lakeside Resort will also charge a fee to spectators of the events a fee of $3.00 per spectator with a portion of the proceeds going to the church in Lakeside. This fee is similar but less than would normally be paid at a Conservation Area. Bring your swim suits and enjoy the beach after the athletes have finished the swim portion of the race.
- There are no dogs allowed on the property of Lakeside Resort. Please make arrangements so you do not bring your furry friends.
- Kids of Steel Races – How To Enter the SiteWhen arriving on Saturday afternoon for the Kids of steel, it is very important that you approach the race site from the south side as listed in the following DIRECTIONS.By doing such, you will avoid having to wait for the road closure during each of the KOS races and will prevent a great deal of congestion along Sunova Crescent which will be closed during the kid’s races. Furthermore, please plan to arrive at least 60 minutes before your race start time in order to ensure you have time to park, register and attend the pre-race briefing.
