You can register for available races at the Health & Wellness Expo but there is NO race day registration for the Full Marathon or Half Marathon. There is also no race day registration for either of our team relay events.

The iTaB is a plate engraved with your name, finish time* and this year we are offering an additional line for a personal message included in the price! iTaB fits neatly and securely in the border on the back of your medal. *(Finish time will not be engraved for 2KM participants as this event is not timed, they will be able to engrave a maximum of 30 characters). All other race participants will be allotted 15 characters for their personal message.

Race kits will be available at our Runner's Expo. Location, dates and times for our Runner's Expo can be found on our Runner's Expo page.

It is very important for every participant to pick up their own race kit to avoid any issues or confusion.

We do not charge for our baggage service so this feature is completely FREE for all participants!

YES! It is highly recommended for all participants to use our FREE shuttle bus service. A number of buses will be leaving from designated areas based on your race event. Schedules and locations of these areas can be found by selecting your specific race after clicking on the “Events” tab under "Race Weekend" on our website. These buses will be on a first-come, first-served basis and are reserved for participants.

The last runner from each team MUST wear the timing chip in order to get an official time. The chip is NOT passed from runner to runner. The last runner will also collect all of the finishers' medals for each team member at the finish line.

The Mississauga Marathon is a certified Boston Marathon qualifier.  More information about qualifying times for 2019 will be here soon.                     

The timing chip will be attached to the rear of your bib. Make sure you do not scrunch up or fold your bib, as it may break the timing chip. Bear in mind: no chip, no time.

Gun Time: The time from the sound of the starters signal to the time when the runner crosses the finish line. Also known as the Official Time. All award categories are prized by Gun Time.

Real Time, Chip Time: The time from when the runner crosses the starting mats at the start line, to the time elapsed when the runner crosses the finishing mats. Prizing is not based on Chip Time.

Start Line
Arrive early. Please allow for extra time to park, check your baggage and get to your place on the Start Line. Pace signs will be posted along the right hand side of the start chute on City Centre Drive. Pace times are listed for the Full Marathon and Half Marathon. Please line up behind these signs based on your predicted finish time. A properly sorted field will allow everyone to run their best race. Just prior to the start you will be brought closer to the start line by the announcer. Garbage bins will be positioned alongside the start chute by the tents.

Cones, Barricades, Course Marshals & Police
The route is marked with traffic cones and barricades. Runners must stay within the coned runner's lane along each portion of the route. Always follow directions of the police and course marshals.

Bib Numbers
Your bib number must be visible on the front of your shirt along the entire route. Only runners wearing and showing a bib number will be allowed to cross the finish line and receive a medal and post-race refreshments. Race pictures will also be sorted according to bib number. Runners without bibs will not be permitted on the last 400 meters of the course.

The Course & Waterfront Trail
Sections of the Mississauga Marathon are run along portions of the Waterfront Trail. To accommodate everyone the following protocol must be adhered on trail sections:

All athletes must run/walk in SINGLE FILE along the right hand side of the trail. Faster runners must pass on the left. A quick, "ON YOUR LEFT" lets others know of your presence. Wearing headphones is discouraged as a courtesy to other runners who assume you can hear them approaching and for safety reasons. If you must stop please step off the edge of the course so you do not impede those behind you. Please drop all clothing and waste material at aid stations. Please do not litter the streets and parks of Mississauga.

Aid Stations
Drink tables are spread out over several meters at each aid station with Gatorade first and water second. Move towards the table, grab your fluid from the volunteer and move away from the table. Do not stop and drink at the tables. Other runners are approaching behind you. Please toss all waste cups as close to the aid station as possible. This assists volunteers in clean up.

Portable toilets are located every 2KM, and will also be in close proximity to each aid station.

Finish Line
Only runners with bib numbers showing will be allowed to cross the finish line. If you are walking alongside the course to accompany a friend or child, do not walk along the course or through the Finish Line. The Finishers Medal will be given to all people with a bib who cross the Finish Line shortly after they cross the Finish Line. Only move forward in the finish chute. Do not stop or double back to wait for friends. There is plenty of room after the finish chute to reunite. Post-race food is available to runners only.

You must maintain a pace of 10 minutes for every kilometre along the route.

If you have an interest in being a pace bunny, please contact us at info@mississaugamarathon.com.

No and no, only runners and bike marshals are allowed on the course due to the safety concerns of all participants along the route

Yes, there will be gels handed out on the Full Marathon course at 24KM/26KM and 38KM (17KM mark for the Half Marathon). There are also aid stations every 4KM with water, Gatorade, port-o-potties, Vaseline, band aids etc.

Yes, for Saturday races they will be located at every aid station which will be the 2KM mark for the Novo Nordisk® "Hazel" 5KM and the 3KM and 7KM mark for the MNP 10KM.

Also, every 2KM along the Sunday race courses will have port-o-potties.

The Half Marathon will have timing mats at 8KM and 16.5KM. The Full Marathon will have timing mats at 8KM, 25KM and 37.5KM. Live results will be available using the link posted on our "Results" page.

Please scroll to the very bottom of this page to view our elevation maps.

Absolutely! We ask that all walkers will line up at the rear of the Start Line so that they do not block or impede runners that may wish to pass them.

Yes. We suggest that all participants who are using a wheelchair line up at the rear of the Start Line, alongside the walkers. We would also strongly suggest that all participants in wheelchairs wear helmets. The time limits and pace are the same for all participants. If a participant needs a guide in order to take part in any of the events at the Mississauga Marathon, please contact us at info@mississaugamarathon.com. There is no extra charge for registering with a guide.

Finishers of all races will receive a finishers' medal.

Shuttles will run from the finish area at Lakefront Promenade Park back to all shuttle bus pick up/drop off locations and start line parking lots. Shuttles from the finish area at Lakefront Promenade Park will run on Saturday evening until 8:30 PM and on Sunday until 3:00 PM.

We highly recommend for you to use our shuttle buses going directly to the finish area instead of the start line due to space restrictions. There will be a very limited number of shuttle buses leaving from each race start line, going to the finish area except for the 2KM Fun Run/Walk. These spectators would need to walk/run to the finish area. The shuttle buses will leave immediately following the start of each race, minus the 2KM.

Spectators for all races wanting to get to the finish area should follow the bus schedule for each specific event as the parking location is different depending on the race and there are some buses just for participants and some just for spectators. Parking locations can be found by clicking on the “Events” tab under "Race Weekend" then selecting the race you wish to watch. There is NO parking at the finish area.

A shuttle bus will wait at each exchange for all relay runners to complete their leg and then will bring you to the finish.

Awards for the Novo Nordisk® "Hazel" 5KM will begin at 7:00 PM, followed by the MNP 10KM at 7:30 PM on Race Day Saturday.

Awards for the Pandora Square One Half Marathon event are on race day Sunday at 10:00 AM, followed by the Full Marathon awards at 11:00 AM. All awards ceremonies will take place within the finish area at Lakefront Promenade Park.

Age categories are as follows: 19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70+.

 Yes. All participants (excluding the 2KM Fun Run/Walk) get a timed result. There is a 6.5-hour cut off time for results which would be 2:00 PM on Race Day Sunday.

 No, all prizing must be picked up on the day of the event. There is no prizing in the walking events.
