Hamilton’s Around the Bay Road Race is the oldest on the continent, first run in 1894, three years before the Boston Marathon. Rich in history and tradition, the race has grown to include a 5K, 10K, 15K and virtual categories to complement its signature 30K distance. Each participant adds to the history of this beloved race around Hamilton and Burlington's harbour!
