About the race
The Doughnut Dash 5km is the sixth annual edition held at Macassa Bay Yacht Club on Harbour Front Drive in Hamilton, Ontario. The event features a measured, flat 5 km course and a separate kids race; organizer materials list the kids race as 1 km while some notes indicate 800 m. The main course is a loop through Bayfront Park followed by an out-and-back segment of about one mile on the waterfront trail, turning at the first island. The course was previously certified but the certification has expired.
Distances:
- 5 km
- Kids race 1 km (800 m also mentioned)
Race logistics include on-site kit pick up at the yacht club on race day; late arrivals may not receive a bib or an official time. Washroom facilities are available inside the yacht club and two porta potties in the parking lot about 100 m from the start and finish area. Chip timing is listed and draw prizes will be offered.
Swag and awards include doughnuts for all provided by the event sponsor Grandads Doughnuts, finisher medals for both races, and apparel for registrants depending on registration date (hooded sweat tops for earlier registrants, long sleeve shirts later; uncollected shirts will not be mailed). Prizes are awarded by age group and overall top finishers. Race day registration is available for cash only; the organizer states there are no refunds under any circumstance.
