Race Course Description
Ten-Mile Course (8:00am)
Flat and fast, this course is actually part of the Toronto Waterfront Marathon course, which makes it so fantastic to train on. Start time is 8:00am on Front Street, just East of Trinity, a mere 150m North of the Distillery District Main Gates (see new MAP, below). The run goes east to Cherry, south on Cherry to Lakeshore, east to Don Roadway, south to Commissioners, east to Leslie, then south into Tommy Thompson Park (great views of marinas, Toronto's shoreline and conservation areas), around the lagoon and back to the Distillery via the same route, to Finish at the same line you started at, on Front St. Four water stations on the course, some you hit twice.
5k Course (8:00am)
The 5k course also starts at 8:00am, following the flat and fast 10-mile route. At Bouchette & Commissioners (2km) those in the 5k will be separated from the Ten-Milers and directed to the 5k turnaround. One water station you pass twice.

Course Restrictions
We regret that while the Acura Toronto Ten-Miler & 5k event is for everyone, the large crowds make the course unsuitable for wheelchairs, baby-joggers, in-line skating and pets. Due to complaints at previous events this will be strictly enforced.
Start Corrals
START LINE ORGANIZATION!! All participants will be organized in coloured corrals based on their expected finishing times for the Acura Toronto Ten-Miler & 5k!
On your bib there will be a coloured sticker on the top right hand corner or a box that says "blue corral" that corresponds to your estimated finishing time. If you think you put the wrong expected finishing time down when you registered please see the help desk to get your sticker changed.
You will need to look for the flag at the start line that corresponds to your bib:
IMPORTANT! If your sticker falls off your bib please see the Help Desk on Race Morning to get a new one.
Port-o-Lets
Port-o-lets (toilets) are available at the Start/Finish, and at each aid station on the route.
