Wind Impact on Race Day

Wind at 25.3 km/h can affect your marathon pace by 5-15 seconds per kilometer. Headwinds slow you down exponentially — a 20 km/h wind costs more than twice a 10 km/h wind.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the 2027 Mississauga Marathon?

The 2027 Beneva Mississauga Marathon is on Sunday, Apr 25, 2027, with the full marathon starting at 7:30 AM EDT from Celebration Square in downtown Mississauga, just west of Toronto.

Is the Mississauga Marathon a Boston qualifier?

Yes. It is a certified, point-to-point course and an official Boston qualifier. The net drop of about 76 m (250 ft) stays within the BAA net-downhill limit, so your time counts. Around 10% of finishers earned a BQ in a recent edition. Estimate your target with our Boston qualifying calculator.

How hard is the course and what is the time limit?

The course is net downhill with small rises near 10K and 30K, then a long descent toward Lake Ontario, making it a genuine PR and BQ option. The official course time limit is 6 hours (about 8:30 per km); runners who reach the 25K checkpoint after 11:05 AM may be diverted. Plan your splits with our pace calculator.

Where does the course go?

The point-to-point route starts at Celebration Square, crosses the Credit River, passes through the University of Toronto Mississauga campus, runs down tree-lined Mississauga Road and southern neighbourhoods, sweeps past the iconic Port Credit lighthouse, and finishes at Lakefront Promenade Park on the Lake Ontario shoreline (beside the Mississauga Sailing Club). There is no downtown-skyline section; it is a leafy, suburban-to-lakeside route.

How big is the full marathon and how do I register?

The full marathon is a smaller, less-crowded field of roughly 600 finishers, run alongside half-marathon, 10K and 5K events. Registration is open online via Race Roster until shortly before race weekend; the full marathon fee is around CAD $150 plus HST and processing.

What is the weather usually like in late April?

Late-April mornings in Mississauga are cool, typically near 9C (48F) at the 7:30 AM gun, warming as you go. A breeze off Lake Ontario is possible in the final miles near Port Credit, so dress for a cold start with layers you can discard.
