The Windsor Waterfront Half Marathon and 5K take place on September 13, 2026 at 340 Riverside Drive, East Windsor, Windsor, ON, Canada. Distances offered:
- Half Marathon (21.1 km)

The event uses a timed out-and-back course certified by Athletics Canada. The start is in front of Caesars Windsor. The route runs east and west along Riverside Drive, which will be closed for the event, and passes waterfront parks. Landmarks on the route include views of the Detroit skyline, the Hiram Walker distillery, and the Ambassador Bridge before entering historic Sandwich. The final approach veers toward the waterfront into a downhill that leads to the finish and the festival plaza.
Aid stations are placed about 2.5 km apart. Specific station locations include Montreuil Ave, in front of Caesars Windsor, the Riverside Dr and Askin Ave intersection, and Sandwich St and Watkins St. Stations provide water and, at selected points, Skratch Hydration Mix and Skratch Energy Chews. The race packet includes a custom Windsor Waterfront T‑shirt and other sponsored items. Finishers receive a custom 4 inch medal and food trucks and refreshments are available at Festival Plaza. Packet pickup is at Walkerville Brewery on September 10, 11 and 12 with no race day pickup. Bib transfers are available until September 1 at midnight. Refunds are only available if registration insurance was purchased. Prizing is awarded overall and by age group for both distances. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
