About the TCS Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon

The half shares Canada’s premier fall road-running weekend and gives runners the scale, crowd support, and downtown finish of the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon without the full distance.

Course

The race starts on Yonge Street and finishes at Nathan Phillips Square after a downtown and lakeshore tour. The route is broadly fast, though runners should recheck the final edition-specific map for small changes.

Race-day weather

Toronto in October is usually cool, but Lake Ontario can add wind and rain. Layering for the start and pacing by effort into waterfront gusts are sensible.
