About the race
Around the Bay 30k Road Race in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada is a road race scheduled for Sunday, April 4, 2027. The event covers 30 km and follows a course around Hamilton's natural harbour.
The race traces a long history: it was first run in 1894, three years before the Boston Marathon, and is described by the organizer as the oldest on the continent. Over time it has been won by top athletes from around the world, including Boston Marathon winners and Olympic gold medalists. The event presents both historical recognition and contemporary branding, with occasional use of a traditional 1894 logo alongside a more modern logo.
Organizer materials and services listed for the event include virtual race details, course maps, race rules, registration and transfer information, packet pickup and a race weekend expo. The program also notes awards and medals, runners' participation recognition, training guidance including fueling tips, results and photos, volunteer opportunities, and a charity partner. Sponsors named include CN and Kintec Group. Practical weekend items referenced by the organizer include parking options, a pasta dinner, hotel and travel information, and road closure details.
