The Sporting Life 10K works closely with the City of Toronto, Toronto Police, Toronto Transit Commission and City Councillors to minimize disruptions for Toronto residents.
From the starting line, the Sporting Life 10K proceeds south down the iconic Yonge St. to Wellington St. The route proceeds west along Wellington St., south on Bay St. to Lake Shore Blvd. W. and proceeds west on Lake Shore Blvd. W. Participants will finish on Lake Shore Blvd. W. by New Brunswick Way and then make their way to Bandshell Park for the Post-Event Party.
