We are Strong!!!

Hey everyone, For those that ran the Toronto Marathon 5k with us on Sunday...firstly great job as you all did amazing! I know there was some issues on the course that caused some disappointment as the distances were messed up and times were not what they expected...but all that means is you will have a better finishing time in the next one! ... I wanted to share the email I received from the race director. Statement from the Race Director Hello, We work hard and pride ourselves on staging quality events. Sunday's 5K and 10K events fell short of our expectations and standards. We want to take a moment and acknowledge the incident on our courses, and let you know our plan to ensure a better experience for next year. Changes in venues and courses are always a challenge. We strive to develop routes that are interesting, while acceptable to our various partners and stakeholders. In the coming months, we will be reviewing our courses and starting times for a better participant experience. Volunteers are absolutely integral to events like these. Unfortunately on Sunday we found ourselves short-staffed. This resulted in gaps in course marshaling and direction. We will be reviewing our volunteer recruitment and training. We thank our volunteers who worked over the weekend, and encourage you to thank a volunteer at your next event. We are working on a token of consolation, and will communicate details soon to all those affected in the 5K and 10K. We will be working hard to investigate and fix issues that caused Sunday's incident, and work towards an event that exceeds your expectations. We sincerely apologize if you had a bad experience and thank you for your understanding.

Hill training starts today at 3pm, Riverdale Park East. Hope to see some of you there!
