Race Overview:

The Around the Bay Road Race is the oldest road race in North America, older than the Boston Marathon. It was first run in 1894 and is one of Canada’s premier running events steeped in history and tradition. The race has grown over the years to include a 5K, 2x15K relay and a 3x10K relay to complement its signature event, the 30K.

The 30K (18.6 miles) is a unique distance as it is more than a half marathon but less than a full marathon, making the Around the Bay Road Race a perfect event to keep winter training on track and prepare runners for future races of all distances.

Funds Raised Through the 2025 Bay Race are Fueling the Future of Care at St. Joe’s

Racing Towards Robotic Surgery Innovation. This year, funds raised by Bay Race participants will largely fund robotic surgery innovation at St. Joe’s. From hip and knee replacements to cancer surgeries – robotics is helping patients to heal faster and go home sooner. To date, seven of the 10 types of robotic surgery performed at St. Joe’s remain unfunded by the province. Pledges made to Bay Race runners will help to ensure every patient who may benefit from robotic surgery can have access to it at St. Joe’s. Learn more at www.stjoesfoundation.ca/robotics.

St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation has been a charity partner since 2005. In that time, St. Joe’s has raised over $5 million to support patient care and research at the Hospital.
