Wave Start / Corrals

Marathon Oasis & ½ Marathon de Montreal will participate in a wave start. This will enable a comfortable starting position for runners and walkers of all paces. When the gun fires, the first corral will be released. The rest of the participants will be held at the start line. At pre-determined intervals (every 1- 2 minutes), the next corral will be released. By using this staggered starting method, the pack will be spread out and allow every runner to settle into their racing rhythm from their first step to the finish line. This will allow sufficient room along the course and at the finish line without affecting individuals’ time or the time participants have to complete the race.

You are assigned a race number and corresponding corral based on your projected finish time – the faster your time, the closer your corral will be to the start. Please note, your corral number is indicated by the number before you rrace number. Runners can enter the corrals at the following time:

o Marathon/half – 7 am

o 10 km / 5 km – 7:30 am
