Many maniacs have done this event over the years. This year all entrants receive a pair of made in Hamilton snowman mitts at bib pickup. Then a custom snowman finishers medal and a fleece blanket after they cross the finish line. Staged out of the YMCA in downtown Hamilton means that there is indoor...

There may be some tickets available on site on the day of the event. We went to the box office on July 12th to see Canada play Brazil in Soccer at the Hamilton Stadium. The website said that there were no tickets available. We bought tickets on the day at the posted price. The information is that th...

Our Booth was beside the Chilly Half Marathon Booth. We were on the outside as you went around. 40 people signed up for the 95th Boxing Day 10 & 4 miler.

New 4 mile run / walk added to our historic 10 mile run. We will be set up at the expo for the Around the Bay Road Race. A minor course change will bring the finish closer to the YMCA. Explore the website: www,boxingdayrun.ca to find out about Hamilton's other historic run. We now have a facebook pa...

Hi Ken:
Thank you for the great report and for coming out again this year. The 5 mile / 6 mile change was due to a mistake of the volunteers sending you up Longwood Ave. first. We will be applying to the City of Hamilton to run the race that way in 2015.

Ken:

I am glad you enjoyed the event. We look forward to seeing you again next year.

Race Morning:

The thunderstorm went through at 4:30am. The weather looks good for the race. A wet course, we should see lots of runners covered in mud at the end.

enjoy,

James

Stop by the Boxing Day 10 miler table in the expo. This year the inclusion is lounge pants.

Working the expo in the big tent for Run for the Toad. The best organized event in the running community. If you are in Southern Ontario on Saturday October the 5th, come out and find out why.

Just google Run for the Toad

Dominate the Milton Half Marathon.
First 13 or 14 males, First Female

It must be the good training.

Up early and off to the Milton Half Marathon. It was a beautiful sunrise.

A nice day for the event. Ed Whitlock set another world record at 1:38:11 for the fastest half marathon by a person over 80 years of age. The Hamilton Harriers had three runners placing 3rd or better in their age groups. The Black Lung Runners from Toronto dominated the event. I was there to promote...

Had a great day at this small race. Only $35.00 a shirt, post race chili, pizza and beer. A run that you should consider doing next year. A flat out and back course close to Lake Ontario. My first event of the year.

I am glad to read that you enjoyed the event.

The results and video reviews are now posted on the front page of the website.

Thank you for coming out again this year, and congratulations on another personal best. The Hamilton Harriers work hard to make it a good race experience. With the weather that came in after the race, I am glad it is not the December 27th 10 miler.

James

Online registration is open until December 20th. We have race day registration that opens at 10am on race day. There is no cut off for registration. We will have finishing medals and food for all. Then join us at Slainte Irish Pub for a post race social, the first beverage on them. James

The 92nd running of the Boxing Day 10 miler will again take place at the YMCA in Hamilton Ontario. The volunteers of Hamilton Harriers running club take pride in putting on this historic event. Staging the race out of the YMCA provides excellent amenities including change rooms with showers, a large...

Nice to see you Alfie. It was a great day for a run. Watching the 400 kids in the 1km bunny hop is always the highlight of this event. The Burlington Runners always put on great events.

The Hamilton Harriers will be putting in a team to this well organized event. If you want a shorter challenge than the big distances think about putting together your own team. See you there.
