We're taking you on a little tour of waterfront landmarks for these run routes. All three start at the south end of Kew Gardens and go west on the Martin Goodman Trail (has a green and blue line down the middle of the paved path), following the trail as if going to Harbourfront. The 5k run or walk: goes out 2.5k, turns around at Leslie. 10k run or walk: goes out 5k, turns around at North Shore Park 20k run or walk: goes out 10k, turns around at the end of York Quay
Centre (just west of Lower Simcoe/Queens Quay) Kew Gardens is southeast of Woodbine & Queen... to get there take Queen Street east of Woodbine to Waverly, go south and park somewhere along Kew Beach Ave. or Kenilworth if you can. Kew Gardens is at Kew Beach Ave. and Kenilworth. WaterThe run and walk routes along the waterfront do not have fountains so carry your own drink. We WILL have a water station at the turnaround of the 5k so everyone can top up there. TimingWe will have a clock at the finish line, but there will be no official chip timing (NOT A CHIP TIMED EVENT) — please keep track of your own run or walk time.
