EVENT INFORMATION - GLO FEST SPRINT
We are happy to announce that this year’s Sprint event will be held at Joe Sams Park in Waterdown.
The park offers a very different setting from the Classic, with a mix of soccer fields, baseball diamonds and a smaller forested area. The terrain is generally flat, and most of the running will be on grass, making for a fast and accessible sprint.
While the area is not particularly technical, our course planner has worked hard to build in plenty of route choices and navigation challenges to keep you thinking while you’re moving. If you joined us for last year’s sprint, you can expect a similar style of event—with a few twists to keep things interesting.
It may look simple at first glance, but don’t let the open terrain fool you. Fast legs, sharp navigation and good route choices will still be the keys to a successful sprint!
