The Toronto Marathon is an annual multi-distance running event drawing 22,000 participants from over 70 countries. Starting at Mel Lastman Square. Beginning in 1977, the event has raised over $18 million for our charity partners, including Princess Margaret, SickKids, Mt Sinai, MS, Diabetes, Habitat, and more.
We hope that if not running, you’ll come out on race day morning to support and cheer the thousands of runners as they start on their journey.
