La Doughnut Dash es una carrera anual de 5K de asfalto que se celebra en el Macassa Bay Yacht Club, en Harbour Front Drive, Hamilton, Ontario. Hay una carrera para niños justo antes del evento principal. Esta carrera, ya de final de temporada, se hace antes de Navidad, con el 5K arrancando a las 10:00 de la mañana (hora del Este), después de la carrera infantil que empieza a las 9:55 de la mañana. Normalmente se juntan más de 310 corredores, así que tiene un ambiente más de carrera comunitaria que de una pequeña 'fun run'. Usan cronometraje con chip y todos los participantes de ambas carreras se llevan una medalla de finisher. El recorrido del 5K da una vuelta por Bayfront Park antes de ir y volver, más o menos una milla, por el sendero de la orilla, girando en la primera isla. Es un recorrido llano y bien medido, aunque la certificación ya les ha caducado. Los espectadores pueden ver a los corredores en la salida, alrededor de los 1.300 metros, y otra vez en la meta. Grandad's Doughnuts patrocina el evento, así que hay donuts para todos los participantes y también ofrecen pequeñas muestras de diferentes sabores; ojo, que sepas que estas muestras no son sin frutos secos. Dan premios a los tres primeros de la general, tanto hombres como mujeres, y a los tres primeros de cada categoría de edad de cinco años, desde 19 años o menos hasta 70 años o más. La carrera también sortea premios y apoya a la juventud local.
