Getting to the Start & Parking
Arrive EARLY! Plan for at least one hour prior to run start. This is the largest run in Toronto and an experience like no other!
- Carpool, cab it or take the TTC Yonge Bus! There is limited parking on the side streets surrounding Sporting Life.
- We recommend parking near SkyDome and taking a cab with runners to the start area.
- Or, park near the Eglinton Station and then walk up to the Start. Carry a subway token in your shorts or checked-bag, and take the subway back from Union after the run—then your car is right there!
- Or, take the TTC to Eglinton or Lawrence Subway stations then jog or walk to the start area as a warm-up and run back as a cool-down.
Remember TTC Sunday Subway service starts at 9:00 am, but buses operate on street level—see www.ttc.ca for more information.
Entertainment and Cheering Centres and Post-race Party
We have SIX Entertainment Centres on the course culminating in a great Post-run party at Roundhouse Park! Details here

10k Course
Canada's EASIEST and one of the fastest downhill 10k's, it runs right down the middle of Canada's most famous street—Yonge Street!
Whether you're a novice looking for the easiest course around to complete your first 10k or a seasoned veteran setting that new PB, this is the event for you! Sign up today and join 10,000+ fitness enthusiasts in the dash down Yonge Street.
Course details: The start line is four blocks south of Sporting Life (at Yonge & Castlefield). From there, the course heads south on Yonge Street all the way to Adelaide Street. It then turns east on Adelaide, south on Sherbourne to Lakeshore. The course then goes west along Lakeshore, north on York, west on Bremner, finishing at Grand Trunk Blvd. just east of Roundhouse Park, with the Sky Dome and CN Tower as the backdrop.
- ALL lanes of Yonge Street open to runners from Start to Adelaide
- Finisher's Medals!
Course restrictions / limitations
Owing to the popularity and large numbers of participants in the Sporting Life 10K, we regret that Baby Joggers, strollers, rollerblades and pets are not allowed in the run, as they are not safe for fellow participants.
Fitness Walkers Welcome — Start time 8:10am
Due to course restrictions, all fitness walkers must be able to complete the 10K in 1 hour 40 minutes (10 minutes per kilometre).
Aid Stations / Water & Gatorade
Water & Gatorade will be available at the race party area, near the finish line and registration area, and at the 4k (St. Clair) and 7k (Shuter) Aid Stations. Canadian Ski Patrol will also be on-site at the 7k aid station, on-course and at the finish line.
Baggage Check until 20 minutes before start time!
You can check your bag at the start for a cost of $2 per bag (all proceeds from baggage go to Camp Oochigeas), and will be transported to the finish. If you paid when you registered or picked up your kit, please present your bib with the paid stamp on it to the volunteers at baggage check.
Baggage check available on Yonge Street at Sheldrake from 1 hour and 30 minutes before start time to 20 minutes before start time.
