Race Course DescriptionTen-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 Cherry St. by the Distillery. The run goes south 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. 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. Route MapClick map to enlarge.
Course RestrictionsWe regret that while the 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 CorralsSTART LINE ORGANIZATION!! All participants will be organized in coloured corrals based on their expected finishing times for the 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.
