About this race
We're Back Hamilton!
The Runner's Den is excited to announce that we have once again partnered with Mizuno to bring you back the Summer Sunset Series!
A fun way to stay fit this summer with a fast and flat course along Hamilton's Waterfront trail! This will be a timed event to allow runners to get a chip time for their 5K run.
In an effort to keep the cost of this event low, there will be no shirt or medal provided for the 5K runners.
Event includes:
- Ankle chip: for timing
- Demo shoes: on site to try for your event
- Draw prizes: for all participants courtesy of Mizuno
- Post race refreshments: for all participants
Event Schedule:
5:30-7pm: Onsite registration/check-in
6:30pm: 1K Kids START
7:00pm: 5K START
7:45pm: Post Race Draw prizes
Back again this year - 1K Kids Run!
