The Family Fun Run will start at 250 The Esplanade at 8:30am and end at St Lawrence Neighbourhood's Cheering Section at Front St & Berkeley St after following the race route of 1-km.
The event is free but registration is required to join Family Fun Run! Click here to register! All welcome: pets, strollers, and more!
We will have face painting by Linda Epp, live music by Aline Morales and friends, and crafts at the cheering section but we will still need our neighbours to cheer with us and win "The Best Cheering Section of 2022!"
Help us be the best community cheering section at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon! The prize is awarded based on most community spirit. Feel free to dress up, bring a fun sign, make some noise and join Aline and our community's percussion group with your dance moves!
