Celebrated as one of the Top 10 Destination Half Marathons worldwide, the Mighty Niagara Half Marathon offers runners a USATF-certified course that winds along the Niagara River, through historic villages, and past landmarks like Old Fort Niagara, culminating at Porter-on-the-Lake Park with stunning views of Lake Ontario and the Toronto skyline. The Hospice Dash 5K, also USATF-certified, provides a family-friendly route along Lake Road and through Four Mile State Park. Both events feature live music along the course, a festive post-race celebration with food and beverages, and opportunities to honor loved ones through personalized “I Run/Walk in Memory Of” signs. Proceeds from the races benefit Niagara Hospice, supporting compassionate end-of-life care in the community.
