About the Toronto Marathon

The Toronto Marathon is built for spring goal racing, with a downhill-leaning course and timing infrastructure that runners search for on race day.

Course

The course moves from north Toronto toward the downtown and waterfront, making pacing discipline important through the early faster sections.

Race-day weather

Early May can be cool at the start and breezy near the lake. Runners should plan for changing layers rather than assuming either winter or heat.
