Start and finish in the FirstOntario Centre, so no waiting around in the cold at the beginning, and a super stadium entry on the finish! The course is a Classic ‘Older Than Boston’, since 1894. At 30K, not your standard distance, and plenty of characters on the route that make this a must-do at least once. Final 10K has rolling hills, and it’s a 2K downhill slope to the finish! Visit original Tim Horton’s in Hamilton as a Bonus!

2023 Around The Bay

Short Version. Why did I decide to ‘race’ it? Good question. I had, as always, 3 goals. 3:30:00, 3:40:00, Finish without walking too much. Managed the 2nd with walking. Training was hard. Recovery time is much longer. Winter training, blizzards, flying on ice (actually falling), running only 3 days…
Around The Bay with Yvonne – 2022
It was cool to be running in the oldest road race in North America.
In spite of the wind and the cold everyone seemed to be in good spirits and grateful to be running again, for many this was their first race in over 2 years.
Note: ‘Run Ottawa’ provides a bus shuttle service for this event to keep transportation simple.
