In June of 1979 The Credit Valley Marathon Club introduced the Bread and Honey 15 Kilometer Road Race. In 1996 the 5 Kilometer race and the 2 Kilometer family run were added.  This has increased participation to over 1300 runners.

The Bread and Honey Races have been ranked #1 several times by the Ontario Road Runners Association polls.  The Credit Valley Marathon Club continues to organize these races which become more successful each year.   

Over the past 29 years the Bread and Honey Race has raised many thousands of dollars for various charities such as Erin Oak, Children's Wish Foundation and the Caring Network for Challenged Kids.  Fundraising continues to be a very important component of these races.
