The Boxing Day Run in Hamilton, Ontario, is a long-standing annual event celebrating its 102nd edition in 2025. Hosted at the Hamilton Downtown Family YMCA, the run offers two distances: a 10-mile race and a 4-mile run/walk. The scenic course starts near the YMCA, follows a paved waterfront trail for about five miles, and returns to the starting point.
Participants enjoy amenities such as indoor bib pickup, refreshments, awards, and access to changerooms with showers. The event welcomes both elite and recreational runners, providing a festive atmosphere with community support, including a $5,000 donation to the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign to help local children access YMCA programs.
