Since the course length is an odd 2.2K along with being extremely challenging (rolling hills, gravel, uneven terrain, and tight corners), this race has become notorious for being extremely painful, somewhat random, yet impossible to resist! Anybody who has ever trained in Waterloo within their life has likely done some sort of session at Waterloo Park. Because of this course experience, we have a home court advantage stemming from our intimate knowledge of this 1.1K loop. The #SummerTT allows us to put this experience to use, showcase our speed, and run the Waterloo Park ring road better than anybody else can. Here is a little taste of how this year's edition went:

The first year of the H+P Kid's dash was awesome! We had around 20 kids aged 0-9 tackle the 300m course, finishing to a cheering crowd of friends and family. Familiar faces to H+P practices Jake Howard and Jenna Martin won the race for boys and girls respectively.
