On 12 April 2026, the Around the Bay Road Race returns in Hamilton with events across distances: 30 km (the flagship), 15 km, 10 km, 5 km, and virtual categories. The route begins near Cannon St. E and Lottridge St., loops around Hamilton Harbour and through Burlington, and returns to the finish in Hamilton, offering a mix of flat and rolling terrain along waterfront and urban roads. Aid stations, medical support, and race logistics are spread throughout, and organizers emphasize a well-managed event with volunteer marshals, course signage, and race-day pickup for bibs. The race has a rich history (first held in 1894) and draws thousands of runners aiming to be part of its tradition while enjoying the regional scenery.
