Windsor Waterfront Half Marathon & 5K

Windsor Waterfront Half Marathon & 5K

The Windsor Waterfront Half Marathon & 5K is a timed, certified road race held along Riverside Drive in Windsor, Ontario. The course is an out-and-back route that begins in front of Caesars Windsor and runs along a fully closed section of Riverside Drive with the Detroit skyline visible to the left. Runners pass waterfront parks, the Hiram Walker distillery, and run beneath the Ambassador Bridge into historic Sandwich town before returning to a downhill finish into the festival plaza.

Participants receive a custom Windsor Waterfront T-shirt in their race packet and a custom 4 inch finishers medal. A post-race festival at Festival Plaza includes food, refreshments and food trucks while awards are presented. Both the half marathon and the 5 km courses are certified by Athletics Canada and the event is chip timed.

Aid stations are positioned roughly every 2.5 km. Station supplies vary by location and distance and include water, Skratch Hydration Mix, and Skratch Energy Chews. Packet pickup takes place at Walkerville Brewery on the days before the race.

Prizing is awarded for overall male and female finishers in both distances and for age-group placements across standard categories starting with 19 and under and progressing by five-year increments. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
