Five people and one organization are being inducted into the Hamilton Sports Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2024.

The hall’s annual induction luncheon was held Wednesday at the Michelangelo Banquet Centre where the ceremony celebrated Steve Staios, Frank Cosentino, Susan Palmer-Komar, Norm Robertson, Ray Jones and the Around the Bay Road Race.

Each person has made an impact to the local sports community and each have a long history of either playing in sports or contributing to the growth of sports.

For the first time, the Hall will be honouring the Around the Bay organization with special recognition.

The road race is North America’s oldest long-distance road race first established in 1894 and has spent many decades supporting local charities.
