21. Why don’t you announce the route ahead of time?

Though the location of the Opening Ceremony, campsite, and Closing Ceremony will be announced well in advance of The Aviva Weekend to Breakthrough Breast Cancer, the route will not be pre-announced. This is strictly a safety precaution as the route may have to change at the last minute due to traffic signal failures, broken water mains, or any other unforeseen issues. Therefore, we do not announce the route. Before the event, however, we will send you Cheering Station locations and times so that your friends and family can see and support you along your walk.
