Both in-person and virtual participation options are available for some distances. The 1 km event supports Community Living Grimsby, Lincoln and West Lincoln; registration for the 1 km includes a finisher medal and a portion of proceeds goes to the charity. Donations of $20 or more will receive a tax receipt from the charity. Hamilton Food Share is a partner and non-perishable food donations will be collected.
Registration and discounts: the 1 km combines a registration fee and a donation requirement. In-person 5 km and 8 km pricing is listed with an increased late rate. A $10 age discount applies to youth (16 and under) and seniors (65 and over).
Logistics and policies: strollers are permitted but should start at the back of the field; dogs are not allowed. The event proceeds rain or shine and is cancelled only in extreme conditions; if the in-person race is cancelled, registrants will be moved into the virtual option without refunds. Race kits and bibs can be picked up at the Stoney Creek Running Room the day before and at Hutches on race day; bibs must be worn on the front of the shirt to participate. Virtual participants can submit results via the designated tracking options and will receive a virtual finisher's certificate.
