for the windsor part of the race, runners will cross the ambassador bridge, head north toward the river down huron church road, then east on riverside drive to goyeau street and south toward the detroit-windsor tunnel.
“runners are typically only in canada for roughly 20 minutes on average,” said velthoven. “we’re over the bridge and back through the tunnel by 10 a.m. our race starts at 7 a.m., so it’s a pretty short trip.”
to cross the canada-u.s. border, runners must carry a western hemisphere travel initiative (whti) document such as a passport, enhanced driver’s licence or nexus card; a digital or paper copy of their proof of vaccination; and a digital or paper copy of their arrivecan receipt.
arrivecan, which can be accessed online or through a mobile app, collects a traveller’s vaccine status, recent travel history and other information. it must be submitted within 72 hours of entering canada.
the need for proof of vaccination was announced before registration began. the requirement to carry a passport or other whti document has been in place for years.

negative covid-19 tests will not be accepted as alternatives to proof of vaccination or arrivecan.
velthoven said he isn’t concerned the extra covid-19 restrictions could lead to the end of the race’s international component. but he added that the previously announced proof of vaccination requirement has affected registration numbers.
