The Mighty Niagara Half Marathon was first introduced by event chairman Paul Beatty in the fall of 2011 as the Hospice Dash Half Marathon. The event was such a huge success that Niagara Hospice decided to promote the race on a national level and make it their premier annual event. Our dedicated race committee has gone to great lengths to make sure that this is the one race you will want to have marked on your calendar year after year. 

Some races are known for their scenic routes, while others are known for incredible post-race parties. Some offer high quality racing shirts that runners look forward to wearing long after the race is done, while others present their athletes with spectacular custom-made race medals to commemorate the great achievement. This race offers it all… and more! A pre-race concert, 15 to 20 live bands, historic sites, beautiful views of the Niagara River and Lake Ontario, post-race celebration, awesome shirts, cool medals, great food, and so much more!

An event of this size would not be possible without the help and support of our local community. If you (or your group) are interested in volunteering, please contact us at the address below.
