Doughnut Dash je každoročná päťka na ceste, čo sa beží pri Macassa Bay Yacht Club na Harbour Front Drive v Hamilton, Ontario. Detské preteky štartujú tesne pred hlavným behom. Tento beh je taký neskorý, pred Vianocami, päťka štartuje o desiatej ráno nášho času, hneď po detských pretekoch, ktoré sú o 9:55 ráno. Zvyčajne príde vyše 310 bežcov, takže to už je taký komunitný beh, nie len nejaká malá sranda. Používajú čipovú časomieru a všetci, čo dobehnú, aj deti aj dospelí, dostanú medailu. Trať päťky ide okruhom cez Bayfront Park, potom sa ide asi míľu po nábrežnej cestičke tam a späť, otočka je pri "first island". Je to rovná trať, presne zmeraná, aj keď už nemá oficiálnu certifikáciu. Diváci môžu bežcov sledovať na štarte, okolo 1 300 metrov a zase v cieli. Sponzorom je Grandad's Doughnuts, dodávajú šišky pre všetkých a ponúkajú aj malé vzorky rôznych príchutí; tie vzorky ale nie sú bez orechov. Ocenenia dostanú prví traja celkovo medzi mužmi a ženami a tiež prví traja v päťročných vekových kategóriách, od 19-ročných a mladších až po 70-ročných a starších. Sú tam aj žrebované ceny a podporuje sa tým aj miestna mládež.

Niagara PAL Santa Dash 5k is a holiday-themed 5K in Niagara Falls, with the route running around the falls before finishing in downtown Niagara Falls.
