Niagara Ultra 2026

Niagara Ultra begins in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, directing runners onto an asphalt path alongside the Niagara River, free from traffic. The race offers distances from 10 km to 80 km, including 50 km, marathon, and half marathon options, accommodating first-time distance runners, marathoners, and ultrarunners. It takes place in June, organized by the St. Catharines Roadrunners and Walkers. Most distances follow an out-and-back course on the Niagara River Recreation Trail and Niagara River Parkway, passing Fort George and proceeding towards Niagara Falls before returning. The 80 km, 50 km, and marathon courses run from Niagara-on-the-Lake to the Falls and back. The half marathon turns around at Queenston, and the 10 km route remains within Niagara-on-the-Lake. Walkers may participate in all distances except the 80 km, provided they meet the time limit and adhere to competitive walking rules. Now in its 32nd year, the event is part of the Ontario Ultra & Trail Race Series, provides fundraising for MADD Toronto, and includes a 10 km clinic with group training, race preparation instruction, and entry into the 10 km race.
