Race details

The in-person course is described as flat and is certified by Athletics Canada, certificate number ON-2013-092-BDC. The course will be open for 3 hours and 30 minutes, so all runners must finish within that time. Pace groups are provided, with target finish times ranging from 1 hour 25 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes.

Water stations serving water only are located at Guelph Line, Walkers Line, Appleby Line and Burloak Drive. Porta-potties are placed at Lakeshore and Guelph Line, Paletta Mansion (south side of Lakeshore), Walkers Line and Lakeshore, Appleby Line and Lakeshore, and Burloak Waterfront Park.

All registered runners must pick up their race kit before race day. Someone else may pick up a kit if they present a copy of the registrant’s confirmation; photo identification is required when collecting a bib. Bibs are not transferable to other runners.

The virtual race can be completed between February 26 and March 17, 2026, and may be tracked using the ASICS Runkeeper app. Virtual participants receive a finisher shirt and medal. Fundraising partners include Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation and Hamilton Food Share. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
