About the HJWL Run For Your Bones 5k
This is a 5K run/walk in Hamilton organized by the Hamilton Junior Women's League, with proceeds going to local nonprofits focused on women and children. The crowd tends to reflect that mission, with people who are there as much for the cause as for the race itself.
After the race, there are snacks at the finish. Runners over drinking age also get a drink ticket redeemable at Casual Pint, a local bar, for a beer or a non-alcoholic option. Team sign-ups are available, with a discount kicking in once a group reaches a certain size.
