Whiskey Run Toronto 2026

Whiskey Run Toronto is a summer morning running event held on the Waterfront Trail in Hamilton, Ontario, despite its name. Participants can select a 5K, 10K, or half marathon, accommodating first-time runners, casual participants, and those seeking a longer distance on the same day. The course follows the Waterfront Trail area at 680 Waterfront Trail. Following the races, the event transitions to its social component, featuring local food pairings, whiskey samples, and music. It is produced by Run Rhino, a Chattanooga-based company also responsible for events like the 7 Bridges Marathon, Scenic City Mud Run, Caffeine Run, World Run, and Southeastern Santa Hustle Race Series. The Whiskey Run series is in its fourth year, with other locations including Atlanta, Nashville, Huntsville, Rome, Georgia, and Knoxville. The participant list indicated 197 runners, and one previous attendee described it as a well-organized event.
