Introducing the Electric K: 

The Race Within a Race 

Think you've got a surge left in the tank?

Returning this year, the Ajax Waterfront Race is turning up the voltage with the Electric K, proudly sponsored by Power Pulse Electric.

Hidden within both the Benson Kearley 5K and the VanDusen 15K is a timed 1-kilometre segment where a second race comes alive. For one electrifying kilometre, your speed through the Electric K is measured separately, creating a race within the race that rewards strategy, pacing, and a powerful finishing kick.

How It Works

⚡ Find It
Watch for course signage marking the start and finish of the Electric K segment on both the 5K and 15K courses.

⚡ Feel the Energy
As you approach the end of the segment, a burst of electric-themed music will help spark your legs and power you through to the finish of the stretch.

⚡ Automatic Entry
There is no extra registration and no additional fee. Your timing chip automatically records your Electric K split as part of your race.

⚡ Win the Charge
The fastest Electric K split in each distance will earn an exclusive Power Pulse Electric prize pack, with winners announced in the Celebration Zone following the event.

Race Smart. Surge Hard.

The Electric K isn't necessarily won by the fastest runner on the course. It's won by the runner who knows when to unleash their power. Save a little voltage, time your surge, and when you hit the Electric K, give it everything you've got.

The runners who reserve themselves for this stretch are the ones who just might light up the leaderboard.

Will you have enough charge left to become this year's Electric K Champion?
