Event
The Pelee Island Winery Half Marathon is a half marathon held on Pelee Island, Ontario, Canada, on May 30, 2026. Registration includes a long-sleeve "recovery" hoodie, an award medal, a bib, and one ticket to the finish-line luncheon with wine tasting. Extra luncheon tickets are available for guests; the source lists adult and child prices and notes the luncheon tickets are limited.
Race kit pick-up takes place at the Pelee Island Winery Pavilion (20 East West Rd) on the day before the race and on race morning. Accommodation and camping inventory on the island are reduced since the pandemic; participants travel to the island by ferry or by air.
Course and logistics
The course starts near the winery, travels counterclockwise for about 7/8 of the island, and finishes inside the Pelee Island Winery. The surface is a mixture of pavement, gravel, and tar and chip. There are aid stations approximately every 2 km with a Port-A-John, water, electrolyte drink, and a runner's aid kit with Vaseline and bandaids. GU is available at the 10K water station.
Course segments:
- First 5K on paved tar and chip
- Next 8K on gravel (east side)
- Last 8K on paved roads into the winery
Travel to the island is by ferry from the Leamington terminal; sailings are about 1.5 hours and reservations are required. Ferry fares are listed for walk-on passengers and for vehicles. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
