12 Mile Creek Trail Half Marathon
Race Information
The half marathon race follows a historic route which includes the first Welland Canal. The first leg of the race includes the Merritt Trail towards downtown St.Catharines, then heads back to the trails behind Brock University, but only after you have confronted Hydro Hill as you climb the Niagara escarpment.
The 7 km race, for those that would prefer a shorter distance, is a challenging trail section which incorporates the last part of the half marathon. You didn't think we would forget about Hydro Hill, did you?
