Lighthouse to Lighthouse Half Marathon & 5K

About the Event

The Lighthouse to Lighthouse Half Marathon & 5K returns to Kincardine, Ontario on October 4th, 2026. This new race experience will take runners along the stunning shoreline of Lake Huron, connecting two iconic landmarks: Point Clark and Kincardine lighthouses.
Race morning in Kincardine is typically cool with a crisp breeze off the lake, making it perfect for running on such a scenic route. The half marathon and 5K courses offer breathtaking views as they wind along the shore before reaching their respective destinations at the historic landmarks. This race promises to be a memorable event not just because of its beautiful setting but also due to the rich history associated with these lighthouses.

Race morning will see participants gather at Kincardine High School on Main Street by 6:30 AM to pick up their bib numbers and race packets. Wear comfortable running gear as you prepare for a brisk start under typical conditions with an average temperature of around 12°C, feeling cooler due to the humidity levels. The route includes some slight elevation changes but no aid stations are planned.
The Lighthouse to Lighthouse Half Marathon & 5K starts at Kincardine High School on Main Street and finishes near the waterfront park before reaching the finish line close to the Point Clark lighthouse for the half marathon, while the shorter course ends just past the downtown area. The race is open to all runners regardless of age, with no specific minimums or maximums.
This event supports local charities and scholarships through its proceeds, making it a vital part of Kincardine's community calendar. By running this race, participants will be contributing directly towards enriching their own experience while also giving back to the area they are running for.
The Lighthouse to Lighthouse Half Marathon & 5K on October 4th in Kincardine is worth attending not only because of its picturesque route but also due to the community support and local impact it has.
