The 2018 Boxing Day 10 & 4 mile runs were enjoyed by 800 runners and walkers. The mild conditions gave us course records in the 10 mile male and female run, and in the 4 mile male run. The team of volunteers both at the YMCA and on the course came back with smiles as well. We will donate $5,000 to the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign helping local youth with YMCA programs.

Each year the Hamilton Harriers donates $5,000 to YMCA strong kids campaign. This helps local children participate in programs. You can donate too! YMCA Stong Kids Campaign

The Hamilton Harriers are committed to the delights of running while offering the opportunity to avoid the loneliness of the sport.

Wednesday evenings at 5:00 p.m.
Saturday mornings at 8:00 a.m.
The distance and pace are your choice. Don't be worried about keeping up. We have runners and walkers.

All pre-entrants will receive a safety vest on Boxing Day at registration. At the finish all entrants receive a made in Canada finishers medal and a fleece blanket to keep them warm on the short walk back to the YMCA. $3,000 cash purse, plus age group medals. Our post race social is at the Pheasant Plucker Pub which is a short walk from the YMCA. The first beer is on us.
