Register for our two themed race events for one reduced price!
5KM and 10KM distance options are available for both races. Everyone who participates in the in-person events will get a post-race breakfast from the Royal Hamilton Yacht Club. For those who do not wish to race in-person yet, we have a virtual option for you!
The in-person race series which includes both events is priced at only $100 and includes breakfast, the virtual race is priced at only $80 and includes shipping and handling.
There will be no refunds on the in-person or the virtual race. If the in-person event has to be cancelled, you will be switched over to the virtual event. There will be no refunds or return of the difference in pricing.

In-Person Event Details
Both of the in-person races will be hosted at the Royal Hamilton Yacht Club. Both the 5KM and 10KM route is an out-and-back style course that starts and ends at the yacht club. Everyone who participates in the in-person event will get a breakfast from the yacht club.
Due to the uncertainty around the COVID-19 Pandemic, if the in-person event cannot proceed as planned, it will be switched to a virtual race. In the case of cancellation of the in-person race, we will not be issuing any refunds or returning the difference in pricing. You will still receive your race kit and can complete your race on your own and submit your results.
Address: 555 Bay St. North Hamilton, ON L8L 1H1
Race kit pickup:
All race kits MUST be picked up before race day. All event participants will be expected to show up to the race with their bib already attached to their person. Check back for race kit pickup dates and location.
Start Times:
Start times for the race will be announced closer to the event date. In order to maintain physical distancing runners will be spaced out in various starting waves based on your predicted finish time. All runners will be given their starting wave time once registration closes on October 10th.
COVID-19 Vaccination Policy:
Since the start of the pandemic, VR Pro has made the health and safety of the running community our top priority. From keeping runners motivated through virtual races to hosting safe curb-side race kit pickups, we have been working hard to keep you safe, motivated and healthy.
COVID-19 has had a large impact on our community and it still continues to pose a threat to the health and safety of our runners. As we begin to return to in-person races and events we want to do our part to help keep the community and the cities we operate in safe.
Given the steady supply of vaccines available in Ontario, VR Pro has made the decision to make vaccines mandatory for participation in our in-person races. Meaning that in order to participate in our live races you must be fully vaccinated. This will allow us to host safer in-person events and help stop the spread of COVID-19.
If you are not comfortable with getting the vaccine, or if you are not sure about participating in an in-person event we will continue to have a virtual option available for all of our races.
Thank you for your understanding and for doing your part to keep our running community safe.
