Historic canals, nasty hills, and a cause worth running for

Follow the Merritt Trail along the first Welland Canal, charge the Niagara Escarpment, and cross the finish line knowing your entry supports the Rankin Cancer Run. A 21 km trail experience you will still be talking about by Wednesday.


Highlights

  • A beloved Niagara tradition since 1988

  • Conquer the infamous Hydro Hill on the Niagara Escarpment.

  • Run alongside the original first Welland Canal on the Merritt Trail.

  • Wind through rugged trails directly behind Brock University.

  • Only 175 half marathon spots — it sells out every year.
