About Us
As a passionate not-for-profit organization since 2016, we've crafted an extraordinary running experience for all. With diverse race distances, including the iconic Marathon starting in Buffalo and crossing the Peace Bridge, our events finish at the Falls' brink, offering both challenge and breathtaking scenery. From the revamped Half Marathon to the spirited 5k Challenge, each race reflects our commitment to fun, community, and competition. Steeped in history since 1974, we've seen Olympic trials and revival in 1998 under Casino Niagara sponsorship. Join us in shaping the future of Niagara running – where every stride is a celebration of our vibrant community!
