In the DOWNTOWN area, Coach Heather will meet you at her studio, Kardia (10 Lower Spadina) for a flat 5k along the waterfront heading towards Ontario Place, and the TTF start line. For those wishing to do 10k, you can do the route twice, or continue along to a turnaround shared at the start of the run.
In the WEST, Coach Bryan will meet you at the Grenadier Café parking lot in High Park. For those who want to stick around post run, you can grab a great brunch at this café. Bryan will lead a 10k with some options for a 5k as well.
While you can use these runs to build your own Virtual TTF race, these will be more about having fun and getting together safely again with our community.
These runs will all start at the same time - 8:30am on Sunday, July 11 - to create the feel of the larger gatherings we are all craving so badly!

Virtual TTF Race Safety Tips

Adhere to prevailing social distancing guidelines while you are out completing the legs of your race. Can you safely pass someone? Can you run, walk, bike safely on the road? Make sure you always have a safe way to move around people to maintain 6 feet of distance. **
Complete your run on a treadmill, or your bike on a trainer, if these are options preferable and available to you.
Wear appropriate clothing. Be visible and dress for the weather.
Bring water and/or nutrition if you think you need it. There will be no water / aid stations along the way in a virtual race.
Carry a cell phone with you during your virtual race and te‎ll someone the route you're running or biking in case of an emergency.
Participants choosing to participate in the Virtual TTF do so at their own risk. You are solely responsible for participating in this event in a manner that is in accordance with the most recent and up to date health and safety recommendations of the government and public health authorities in your area.

Where Can I Complete My Virtual TTF Race?

Wherever you are! The joy of competing in a virtual race is that you can start it right outside your front door.
