Note from Ilona Dobos, Meet Director and Course Controller:
It was a gorgeous day to control the courses for the Elora Cup (June 1) on Sunday. Although the conservation area seems simple and easy for the uninitiated, Nick has identified plenty of details that will keep even the elites on their toes when they run the middle distance course. You'll be tempted along the way to admire the gorge and get distracted by the scent of lilacs as you reach the most technical part of the course. The sprint will be fast and furious, but easy to make an error if you are not wholly focused. The Elora Cup will be a treat for the participants, so do not miss it!
