If you want an early-morning warm-up jog on race day, the Radisson Plaza Hotel Saskatchewan is located approximately 14 blocks from the SaskCentral QCM start/finish area. 

• Come out the front door of the Radisson Plaza Hotel Saskatchewan and turn left. 
• Run 5 blocks west on Victoria Avenue to Albert Street. 
• Don’t cross Albert Street.

• Turn left and run about 9 blocks south on Albert Street to 23rd Avenue. 
• I say “about” 9 blocks because part of the distance is over the Albert Street Bridge and there are no official “blocks” there to measure. 
• When you reach the corner of Albert Street and 23rd Avenue, you’ll see the start/finish area to your left. It’ll be hard to miss. Look for a large tower structure and a lot of people wearing shorts lined up to use portable toilets. 

Saturday morning’s Friendship Run starts at 9:00 AM at the Regina Running Room store, located at 2118 Albert Street, at the corner of Albert Street and 13th Avenue. This is just 6 blocks from the Radisson Plaza Hotel Saskatchewan.

• Go out the front door of the hotel and turn left. 
• Run 5 blocks west on Victoria Avenue to Albert Street. 
• Cross Albert Street. 
• Turn left and run 1 block south on Albert Street to 13th Avenue.
