The Hypothermic Half Marathon is a celebrated winter running event organized by the Running Room, designed to inspire runners to embrace the unique challenges of winter racing. Held annually in multiple Canadian cities, the event is renowned for its festive atmosphere, scenic courses, and commitment to providing a memorable race experience regardless of the weather.
