Chilly Half Marathon
The Chilly Half Marathon takes place in Burlington, Ontario on February 28, 2027, with the event base at Burlington City Hall on Brant Street. The event offers both an in-person race and a virtual option that can be completed between February 26 and March 17, 2027.
The course is described as fast and flat and is certified by Athletics Canada, certificate ON-2013-092-BDC, confirming the distance of 21.0975 km. The route runs along downtown Burlington and the waterfront. The course is open for 3 hours and 30 minutes; all runners must finish within that time limit.
In-person entries include a race kit with a long sleeve technical shirt in men's and women's sizing, and a 2027 spinner medal. Race kits and bibs must be picked up before race day or can be mailed for an additional fee. Baggage check is available inside the Burlington Arts Performing Centre with Air Cadets for a $5 donation. Public parking near the site is free on weekends and shuttle bus service runs from partner hotels, Nickel Brook Brewery, the Burlington GO station, and other points, with drop-off at the Burlington Performing Arts Centre.
The virtual race is tracked via the ASICS Runkeeper app or by manual result submission; participants who post results receive a virtual finisher certificate. Pace groups are provided across a range of finish times from about 1 hour 25 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes. VR PRO states that course marshals and team members monitor behaviour to maintain a safe and respectful environment. Donations from the event support the Joseph Brant Hospital Mental Health and Addictions program and Hamilton Food Share, and non-perishable food items are collected at the race.
