About the race
Pelee Island Winery Half Marathon is scheduled for June 5, 2027 on Pelee Island, Ontario. The event is limited to approximately 440 participants and follows a route that circles most of the island, finishing at the Pelee Island Winery. The course covers a mixture of surfaces. The first 5 km are paved with tar and chip, the midsection about 8 km is gravel, and the final 8 km return to paved roads into the winery.
The route runs counterclockwise for most of the loop and passes shoreline sections on the west side of the island. Aid stations are placed at roughly two kilometre intervals and provide a port-a-john with hand sanitizer, water, an electrolyte drink, and a small runner aid kit; GU is available at the 10 km water station. Registration includes a wine‑inspired long sleeve recovery hoodie, a finisher medal, a race bib and one ticket to the post-race luncheon and finish-line party with wine included. Race kit pickup takes place at the Pelee Island Winery pavilion at 20 East West Road; photo ID is checked before race kits are distributed and a bag check is available on arrival. Travel to the island requires ferry service from Leamington; each sailing is approximately 1.5 hours, reservations are required, and service may be cancelled for weather.
Island overnight options are limited. Taxi service on the island is currently not available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
