Half Marathon Route Description:
Start: The AGHM begins and ends at the beautiful Angus
Glen Golf Club, at 10080 Kennedy Road, just north of
Major Mackenzie.
0-3KM: Approximately the first 400 yards take
participants along the winding driveway of the golf
course. The route then heads into the community of Angus
Glen, winding along the exterior of the neighbourhood
on a very slight downhill.
4KM-6KM: Upon exiting the community, participants
start a stretch of gradual uphill on Kennedy Road to
Elgin Mills Road.
7KM-9KM: After turning east on Elgin Mills Road,
participants begin to experience the rolling hills of
north Markham. The quick up and downs run east - west,
on Elgin Mills Road and 19th Avenue (to come). By 9KM,
participants have turned north on to McCowan Road.
10KM-12KM: When McCowan Road comes to 19th Avenue,
participants head west, again experiencing the up and
down hills. They continue on 19th Avenue to past the
14th KM.
13KM-15KM: Halfway through this stretch participants
head south on Warden Avenue, with a very slight, gradual
downhill.
16KM-18KM: At 17KM, participants head back east
on Elgin Mills Road, back to the rolling hills for a
few more kilometers.
19KM-21.1KM: It's all downhill from here! Once
participants turn south on to Kennedy Road, heading
back in to the Angus Glen Golf Club, they experience
a nice, gradual downhill. They take a quick turn back
on to the driveway of the club and enjoy the final kick
to the finish line.
10K
Route Description
Our 10K Race runs along the same route to approx. 6.5KMs,
right above Elgin Mills Road, when participants turn
around and head back down Kennedy Road and in to the
clubhouse.
