THE SCHMIDTY will take place at the Wilmot Recreation Complex (WRC) and the adjoining Schmidt Woods in Baden. It will begin at 12 pm and conclude by 3:30 pm. The final race schedule will be confirmed in September.
The first event of the day will be the All-Ability Schmidty (in order to welcome and celebrate athletes who have varying abilities). The Gritty Schmidty and Pretty Schmidty will take place afterwards for the XC running athletes. Washrooms will be available on the east side of the WRC building (by the children's playground). Refreshments will be on sale by the W-O Athletic Leadership class (and will include some refreshing post-race treats). If you have any questions, concerns, or require medical attention, go to the Schmidty HQ (under the pavilion by the children's playground). PLEASE NOTE: THE WILMOT RECREATION COMPLEX IS GENERALLY OUT OF BOUNDS. *All athletes, coaches and spectators are to remain outside the building (either at their respective school's base camp or around the course itself). |

The Courses
The All-Ability Schmidty (2.0 km)
This is essentially a modified version of The Pretty Schmidty to ensure all participants, regardless of their abilities, can complete the course at their own pace and in their own way. School staff, family and friends are encouraged to join in to help make this experience be about the journey, not just the destination. The course will be wheelchair accessible. There will also be the option to finish around the 1 km mark. |
The Gritty Schmidty (5.5 km)
It starts like the Pretty Schmidty. You even think it's easy. And then it starts to get gritty.... At 5.5 km, it's two loops that are not to be taken lightly. It'll require preparation, pacing and perseverance. Warning: Once you finish, you may realize that this is a sport you'll be enjoying for the rest of your life! |
PLEASE DO NOT WEAR METAL SPIKES as there are wooden sections that we do not want to damage!
