Around the Bay Road Race

[4][7][8] In the early 20th century, Jack Caffery and William Sherring battled it out and won two "Bay" races each.

[9] In February 2020, race organizers announced that the 30k race route would change to exclude the signature trek up the Valley Inn Road hill after the city of Hamilton closed the road's pedestrian bridge due to safety concerns.

[10] This ultimately didn't matter as, on March 13, the race was cancelled due to the rapidly progressing COVID-19 pandemic.

[11] In 2021, the ATB held a virtual race in lieu of the regular in-person event due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.

[15][16][17] The Burlington Canal Lift Bridge, historically the ATB's 15-kilometre mark, was closed on January 5 for major maintenance and scheduled to reopen on March 20, less than a week before race day.

[25] For years, races started on York Boulevard, one block west of the FirstOntario Centre, and finished inside the arena.

Due to upcoming major renovations to FirstOntario Centre, the start and finish for the 2024 race moved to Tim Hortons Field.
