ROAD TO WATERFRONT 2025

JULY 6TH – OCTOBER 12TH

Once again, we’re excited to invite you to our Road to Waterfront community long run program!

We’re here to help you get to the start line of your fall half or full marathon feeling strong, and to make sure you look back at your Sunday long runs and say, “That was awesome!”.

Starting Sunday, July 6th, join us at either BlackToe location at 8:30am for a free weekly long run, led by our amazing BlackToe community pacers.

This program is perfect for anyone training for a fall half or full marathon.

Participants must be 18+ or accompanied by a parent or guardian. And while we love your pups, please leave them at home. It helps keep the run safe and smooth for everyone.

Common Questions!

Each week, we’ll offer progressively longer routes designed for those training for both the marathon and half marathon.

We’ll have pacers ranging from 5:00/km to 7:00/km, so there’s a pace for everyone. All paces are welcome!

Yes! You can leave a bag at either location!

No! Come as often or as little as you like. To qualify for rewards, you need to check in using our QR code when you do come. Your cumulative number of Sunday runs with the group will go towards your reward eligibility. Simple!
