5k, 10k, Half-marathon, Marathon
Race Information
In 2025, all events are entirely within Canada. The 10k, Half-Marathon and Marathon will start at Rapidsview Park, and head North towards the falls! Runners will see and hear the roar of the iconic Horseshoe Falls as you run right by them going out and coming back. Runners will turn around by Fallsview Casino/Skylon Tower, giving you some of the most amazing views you will find on any racecourse in the world! You will then head back the same way towards Rapidsview Park, where you will pick up the race's former route and head out over the bridge in Chippawa. Your respective turn arounds will be along the flat, Niagara Parkway directly adjacent to the water!
5k runners will start right on the Niagara Parkway and head south, through Kingsbridge Park, over the bridge in Chippawa and onto Bridgewater St/Niagara Parkway, before turning around and heading back to the finish at Rapidsview Park. Much of the route is highlighted by views of the Niagara River!
