Windsor Waterfront Half Marathon & 5KM
The Windsor Waterfront Half Marathon & 5KM takes place in Windsor, Ontario. The event features an out-and-back, timed course that is officially certified by Athletics Canada. The route follows Riverside Drive, which is fully closed to vehicle traffic, providing views of Windsor's waterfront parks and the Detroit skyline.
The event offers two distance options:
- Half Marathon
- 5 km
The race begins in front of the Caesars Windsor casino and hotel. Participants head east under the Hiram Walker distillery to a turnaround point before heading west along the waterfront. The route continues under the Ambassador Bridge and into historic Sandwich town before returning east. The final stretch includes a downhill section leading towards the waterfront and the finish line at the Festival Plaza entrance.
Aid stations are positioned approximately every 2.5 km along the route, providing water, hydration mixes, and energy chews depending on the station location. Registered participants receive a custom t-shirt and a 4-inch medal upon completing the race. Awards are presented to top overall finishers and winners in age categories ranging from 19 and under to 75 plus. Race packets must be collected on specific dates before the event at Walkerville Brewery, as there is no race day packet pickup available.
