The Hamilton Marathon would like to welcome you back once again to our event taking place the first weekend of November.

To all returning participants, thank you for trusting in us once again to bring you a glorious race experience! To those new to us, we are so excited to meet you! We hope to bring you a weekend of fun and help you meet your goals.

The Hamilton Marathon Road2Hope offers a 2 loop course along Hamilton's Beautiful Waterfront with a full race weekend including a kids 1km fun run, a 5km and 10km Family Walk/Run, as well as a fully certified Half and Full Marathon.

Back by popular demand will also be our Hammer Challenge - 3 Races one weekend! Why not take on the ultimate Challenge this year?
