We've been your training ground all season, and we're not stopping now. Scroll down for our race week lineup, including in-store activations & cheer station info.

SHAKEOUT RUN

Join BlackToe Running and ASICS for a pre-race shakeout on May 2nd, 9:00 a.m. at The Well. Easy run, demos, and post-run donuts!

Let’s shake those legs out with one final run before the big day!

Join us for our BlackToe Pre-Marathon Shakeout Run on Saturday, May 2nd at 9:00 a.m. from BlackToe Running at The Well. We’ll head out for an easy pre-race shakeout to get the legs feeling ready.

We’ll also have our friends from ASICS on-site with a few demo pairs, including Metaspeed Sky and Edge Tokyo, as well as Superblast 3, so you can try something fresh before race day.

We'll have post-run donuts (of course!) from Sanremo Bakery so you can count on us to keep the carb load carbing!

Check out our Eventbrite to sign-up.

COME JOIN US AT OUR CHEER STATION

Not racing this year? Come cheer with us. We'll have two BlackToe cheer stations going on Sunday. Midtown first thing in the morning, then Downtown at Lakeshore and Bathurst a bit later as runners hit the back half. Roll up to either one, or both. They're spaced out enough that you can hit Midtown and still make it down to Lakeshore in time. Signs, snacks, noisemakers and BlackToe gear encouraged!

Running Shoes, Gels, And Race Day Essentials

Whatever you need (literally), we have it at BlackToe. Gels, hydration solutions, arm sleeves, socks, apparel, sunglasses, racing shoes, recovery slides, recovery products, GPS watches—you get the point! Not to mention that our Shoe Experts will be in full force to provide all the advice and encouragement you need to find exactly what you’re looking for.
