Niagara Falls 10k, Half & Marathon 2026
The event offers road races of 10 km, half marathon, and marathon in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The finish line for all races is on Stanley Avenue in front of the Niagara Falls Convention Centre. All 2026 race events take place entirely within Canada.
The course starts along Fallsview Boulevard, continues down Murray Street past the Skylon Tower, and approaches Niagara Falls. Runners encounter the American Falls, turn right onto the Niagara Parkway, and reach views of the Horseshoe Falls. The route follows the Niagara Parkway past Rapidsview Park, through Kingsbridge, and over the bridge in Chippawa. Each race distance has an out-and-back section along the flat, scenic Niagara Parkway running beside the Niagara River.
Due to venue changes, a 5K is not currently available; any addition or accommodation for a 5K would be announced later if possible. Virtual options are offered for the 10K, half marathon, and marathon for participants in North America; virtual runs are open from October 1 to October 31 and medals are shipped the week of November 1, with shipping limited to North America.
The event policy states no refunds and no deferrals. Racers may transfer or sell their entry before the October 7 deadline at 10:00am. Distance changes can be made online before that deadline; after the deadline they can be made at race kit pickup subject to availability and a CA$10 fee for a new bib. Bib sales are not permitted after the October 7 deadline. Once the event sells out there will be no wait list and no walk up entries on race weekend.
