Race Info

Hamilton Marathon Road2Hope is an annual marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, and kids run held each fall along the Lake Ontario waterfront in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. All races start and finish in Confederation Park; the full marathon runs a two-loop, Boston-qualifying course. Results are archived for most years since 2018, with a gap in 2020-2021 when the event ran virtual-only or without posted results due to COVID-19. The event is organized by Runner's Den and its Road2Hope name comes from its charity partnership with EduDeo Ministries, whose Road2Hope program funds schools in developing countries.
