Round the Bridges

The Lugton’s Round the Bridges event features a course that traverses some of Hamilton’s most scenic locales, starting and finishing on the bustling Victoria Street in the Central Business District. Participants journey north initially before descending to the riverside paths at Rostrevor Street. The route then crosses the historic Fairfield Bridge, looping to include the picturesque Hamilton Gardens—a highlight for many runners, providing a lush, botanic backdrop to the challenge of the race. After passing through the gardens, competitors cross Cobham Bridge, with the course following the river’s edge, leading runners back to the heart of the city for the finish.

This event caters to a broad range of participants, from competitive runners to families looking for a fun and active day out, including specific races designed for children. The community atmosphere is palpable, with local spectators often lining the route to cheer on the family, friends, and participants. This race not only offers a chance to experience the beauty of Hamilton’s landscape but also serves as a lively community gathering that celebrates fitness and camaraderie.
