NOTE #1: Please, Absolutely NO riding on the playing fields or the sand pits! Thanks!
NOTE #2: The course area is a public recreation site, be courteous and respectful of other users. This is especially true along the paved path where the Team Tents will be located.
NOTE #3: There will be two food and beverage vendors on site: Dude’s Dogs (smokies, hotdogs and drinks/pop) and The French Press for coffee. Cash only.
Team Tents
Team tents will now be located on the south side of and parallel to the paved path that separates the lower and mid-level playing fields. (Do not spike tent supports within 1 metre of the paved path due to buried irrigation) No vehicles allowed to this location so the best and shortest point of access is from Park Rd just off of First Ave. Unload then park in the BMX parking lot which is really close.
Parking
The large Civic Centre parking lot is available.
Other good locations include along Jones St. and the BMX lot on Park Rd (this is your prime location for Team Tent drop off and parking) and Ravensong Swimming pool.
Washrooms (same as last year)
They are situated in a standalone building adjacent to the paved path. QB calls it the field house and it is very close to the Park Rd entrance to the path where the Team Tents will be located.
Course Location
At the Qualicum Beach Civic Centre (more or less). Good access from all highways:
- From Hwy 19, take the only off-ramp into Qualicum Beach, follow the traffic circle around to Rupert Rd, drive 1 block and turn right onto Jones St.
- Coming from north Island on Hwy 19A, turn right onto Laburnum Rd and continue until a left turn on Jones St.
- If coming from down Island on Hwy 19A, turn left at Bennett Rd (also goes to airport), it will change to Rupert Rd, go around the traffic circle then one more block to a right turn on Jones St.
- From the west (Port Alberni, Hwy 4) drive towards town and follow the traffic circle around to Rupert Rd, drive 1 block and turn right onto Jones St.
