Around the Bay Road Race

The Around the Bay 30K Road Race is one of North America’s oldest and most iconic distance road races. Held each spring in the Hamilton area, the point to point course takes runners along the shores of Lake Ontario and Hamilton Harbour, finishing with a challenging final stretch into the city. Known for unpredictable weather, rolling terrain, and a gritty atmosphere, it has become a rite of passage for serious runners and a popular tune up race for spring marathons. With deep history and strong local support, Around the Bay offers a classic road racing experience that feels both tough and rewarding.
