Hamilton Marathon
Race Day Weather
Comfortable start, steady climb later
Runners will face temperatures starting at 54°F and rising to 62°F by the finish. With a max wind of 11 mph from the S, the course will experience a mix of headwind, tailwind, and crosswind throughout. Given the humidity at 72%, pacing should be conservative in the early laps to account for rising temperatures and potential fatigue later. Hydration will be key as conditions warm.

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.
