Training Program

"You can do it, join in the marathon run on the street named by Guiness as "the longest street in the world". From start to finish, the Toronto Marathon profiles the diverse culture of Canada's largest city. The course boasts cool temperatures, a negative drop in elevation with very few turns making this Toronto Marathon a favourite Boston qualifier."

- John Stanton,
Founder and President, The Running Room
