Honda Waterfront Run Barrie 2026

The Honda Waterfront Run Barrie begins and ends near Heritage Park on Simcoe Street in Barrie, Ontario. The event starts at 8:00 a.m. in early June. This road race, presented by Honda, offers a half marathon, 10K, 5K, a 5K stroller division, and a kids’ fun run. The day is designed for those seeking a longer distance and families wanting a shorter course. Registration includes a finisher’s medal, complimentary race photos, a pre-race warm-up, post-race food, and age-group awards for the 39-and-under and 40-and-over categories for each distance. The course follows Barrie’s waterfront. Runners should anticipate sections with two-way traffic and some areas where vehicles might still be present. Strollers are permitted only in the designated 5K stroller event. Service dogs may participate with prior notification to the race director; other pets are not allowed on the course. The race supports Autism Ontario, Hospice Simcoe - Seasons Centre, and Bridget’s Bunnies. Race kits can be picked up locally the day before the event at Barrie By The Bay, and on race morning near Simcoe Street. Another person can collect a kit using the runner’s confirmation email and bib number.
