- Virtual options for 3K, 5K and 10K are available

These items are exclusive to in-person participants. Participants 16 and under receive free registration but must still register.
Organizers will donate 20 slices of bread for every in-person participant to Canadian food banks. North York Harvest Food Bank will be on-site to collect non-perishable items toward a 100,000 lb goal. Course maps currently show the 2025 route and are being updated due to construction.
