Doughnut Dash 5km : Macassa Bay Yacht Club, Hamilton
The Doughnut Dash returns for its sixth edition at Macassa Bay Yacht Club, Harbour Front Drive, Hamilton, Ontario. The event features a main 5 km race and a kids race listed as 1 km in the event details, with an additional reference to an 800 m start for the children.
The course is a loop through Bayfront Park followed by an out-and-back of about 1 mile on the waterfront trail, turning at the first island. The route is described as flat and accurately measured; an existing course certification has expired.
Grandads Doughnuts is the event sponsor and provides freshly baked doughnuts for all participants; the doughnuts are not nut free. Additional items include Hornby organic energy bars and finisher medals for all entrants in both races. Shirts are issued to those registered before October 31; leftover shirts may be available on race day but will not be held or mailed afterward.
Race day registration is available for cash only. Kit pick up takes place at Macassa Bay Yacht Club on race day; arriving early is advised to avoid running without a bib or receiving no official time. Restrooms are available inside the yacht club and two porta potties are located about 100 m from the start and finish. In 2025 the event had over 310 runners. Chip timing is used and awards are presented by age group and overall, with awards expected to be picked up on race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
