About the race
The Chilly Half Marathon is Burlington's early-March half, run on the city's waterfront. It's known as a fast, flat course and a popular spring tune-up for runners across southern Ontario.
The course starts at City Hall on Brant Street, loops through downtown, then heads down to Lakeshore Road. A short out-and-back goes west to Maple Avenue, then the long stretch runs east along the lake to Burloak Drive, with a turnaround just up Burloak at Spruce Avenue, before the run home along the water to finish on Brant Street.
About this GPX
This file follows the race's street-by-street course.
- 652 waypoints, built from the City of Burlington's published street list with every corner placed from OpenStreetMap and the legs between them snapped to the road grid
- Elevation on every waypoint from USGS 10 m terrain data, smoothed so creek crossings don't read as dips
- Total distance: the trace follows road centrelines and measures about 21.5 km; SummitRoom runs it as the certified 21.1 km
- Climbing: about +55 m over the course, with nothing steeper than about 2% — the gentle rise up Burloak Drive
Direction: start and finish on Brant Street. Downtown loop → Lakeshore Road west to Maple Avenue → Lakeshore Road east to Burloak Drive → Lakeshore Road west → Brant Street.
Treadmill simulation notes
Chilly is a pace course: the incline barely moves, so it suits a steady half-marathon effort or a tempo run. On a Bluetooth treadmill, the only change of note is the short climb and descent on Burloak Drive around the 12–13 km mark.
