The Fall Colour Run started in 1979 with 15k and 5k runs. The 15k run was replaced by a 10k in 1987. Keep in mind when comparing records that the runs did not follow the exact same course each year. Also due to possible calibration errors and changes to start and finish lines, the distances may not have been exactly accurate from year to year.
The 5K records include the years 1979 through to 1985 and 1996 to 1997. Some of the age groups were changed sometime between the 1985 race and the 1996 race. A single asterick (*) indicates the age group only applies to the years 1979 to 1985; a double asterick (**) indicates the age group only applies to the years 1996 to 1997.
The 15K records only include the results from 1979 to 1985.
The 10K records only include the results from 1996 to 1997.
If anyone has the results from 1986 to 1995, please inform
the web site organizer and they will be incorporated into these
results.
