What Burlington hires
The people inside this line are running.
Runs along the lake shore and up towards the escarpment are a steady part of what goes out here, and a race brief is unlike any queue. The start needs corrals that hold runners by pace; the course needs a hard edge wherever spectators crowd the road; the finish has to narrow smoothly into a chute so timing can see every bib; past the mat the runners have to slow down, be handed a medal and water, and then be moved on before the next wave arrives. Every section is a corridor, and every corridor has somebody at speed inside it.
A chute that narrows
Barricade set in a long funnel towards the finish line, so the field thins out gradually rather than compressing at the last few metres.
Spectators held back along the route
Interlocking steel where crowds gather at bends and near the finish, keeping a clear running lane from kerb to kerb.
Medal and water after the mat
Belt posts divide the recovery area into lanes that lead past volunteers with medals, water and fruit, then out to the family meeting point.
Where we deliver
Along the lake and up to the escarpment.
Races close a road, and the drop has to happen before the closure or through a marshal point, so it is arranged with the organiser rather than addressed to a building. Delivery, setup and collection each have their own line: running clubs with a big volunteer base often take stacked barricade at the start village and build the chute themselves, while larger events tend to hand the course layout to us.

Deliveries go to the places a Burlington race is staged from:
- the lakefront park by the pier
- the promenade and waterfront trail
- the escarpment conservation areas and their trailheads
- the downtown streets closed for race day
- the sports parks and community centres used as start villages
- school fields and grounds used for fun runs
Send the course map with the start, the finish and the marshal points marked, and the barricade is dropped where each section of the course needs it.
Worth asking
What a Burlington race director usually asks first.
- How are finish-line and corral posts priced in Burlington?
- A black post with retractable belt, or a gold post with velvet rope, rents for $19 a day, $29 for three days and $39 for a week. Most races only need the one-day rate for posts in the recovery area and the start corrals. Barricade drop-off along the course, building the chute and collecting everything after the last finisher are quoted as their own lines.
- How long should a finish chute be?
- It depends on the field and the timing setup rather than on a rule, so we ask the timing company where their mats go and how much room they want past them. The chute is laid out to narrow gradually towards the line and open out again after it, so runners are never forced into a sudden pinch.
- Can belt posts be used on the course itself?
- Rarely. A belt post is fine for the recovery area and the corrals, where people are walking, but on the road a runner or a spectator leaning over can knock it into the lane. Steel barricade is what holds the edge wherever the field is moving fast or the crowd is thick.
- Can the barricades carry sponsor branding?
- Yes. Printed covers fit over the barricade sections along the finish straight, and the sign frames and T-stands at the start and in the recovery area take printed panels as well. Artwork is made for the order, so it belongs in the brief along with the course map.
- Where does the equipment go once the road reopens?
- Collection is planned around the reopening, not the other way round. Barricade on the road is lifted first and stacked at an agreed point off the carriageway, and the recovery area and start village are cleared after. Tell us where that stacking point is and who from the organising team signs off the collection.
