5K Race
The Tim Hortons 5K Race is a great introduction to the sport of running. It provides a challenge to new runners but can also be a great leisure course for the more advanced runner. This race will allow children to participate with their parents; a fantastic way to encourage family interaction. It is also an ideal way to fundraise for sports teams, associations, groups and schools. We encourage all participants to use this race to collect pledges and raise funds for the charity of their choice. Additionally, the Tim Hortons 5K is also a great way for the corporate community to team-build while promoting activity through the workplace.
The start of the Tim Hortons 5K begins at 8:30am.
Due to the demand, we have increased the CAP to 750 participants in this event.
The Tim Hortons 5K race is an “out and back” course that will start at Upper Rapids Boulevard and head north towards the Niagara Parkway. Participants will make a right onto the Niagara Parkway, cross the Chippawa Bridge, turn left onto Bridgewater Street and then make a loop at the 2 kilometer marker to follow the Niagara Parkway back to the Finish Line located in front of the Toronto Power Generating Station National Historic Site of Canada (click here for more information). Participants will experience the beauty of the Niagara Parks along the Niagara River, voted the most scenic course in Ontario in 2012, passing (2) Hydration Stations and (1) Cheer Station along the way.
Walking in the 5K is permitted.
