Boxing Day Run - Hamilton
The Boxing Day Run in Hamilton, Ontario is presented as the 103rd running of the event in 2026. The programme offers two distance options and runs through downtown streets and along a paved waterfront trail. The organiser describes the event as a long-standing road race with participants that have included elite and recreational runners.
Start and finish lines are together on Hughson Street near King William and about three short blocks from the downtown YMCA. The race day hub is located indoors in the YMCA Main Gymnasium and provides bib and race-wear pickup, post-race refreshments and awards, change rooms with showers, and a welcoming space for spectators and families.
Media coverage and event resources noted by the organiser include past coverage by CHCH and CBC, plus a Get Out There Magazine video review and a Facebook page. The 2024 edition donated $5,000 to the YMCA Saves Lives Campaign to support access for local children and youth to YMCA programs.
Distances:
- 10-mile run
- 4-mile run / walk
