Toronto Women’s Run Series

As we continue to adhere to COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines mandated by the province of Ontario and Toronto Public Health, at this time we can confirm that the 2021 season for the Toronto Women’s Run Series will be composed of three virtual race offerings and our 416 Run Challenge events.

We are thrilled to announce that we will be wrapping up the season with an in-person 5k on Sat. October 23 alongside of our virtual 8k/5k race from October 23 – Nov. 6, 2021. 

A virtual run means you complete your race distance on your own and can run anytime, anywhere, keeping in mind the practice of physical distancing.  This way, we can all stay safe and still stay fit and active while we work toward #flatteningthecurve.

Registration is now open for all of our races.

We kicked off our 13th season with our virtual Half Marathon/10k/5k race from May 23 – June 6, 2021 and we had more than 900 runners and walkers set the pace in their virtual races and we raised a record setting $30,500 for POGO!

Our virtual 10k/5k event held from August 14 to August 28, 2021 had more than 450 participants and we raised over $10,000.

We can’t wait to come together to run/walk through beautiful Sunnybrook Park and our surrounding park system at one of Toronto’s most popular race series and one of the largest women’s race series in the country this autumn.  Additionally, you can join us virtually! Our virtual races enable everyone, near and far, to set your own pace, keep active, and stay connected with our amazing women’s running community.

We continue to support our long-term charitable partner, the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) by setting our fundraising goal of $40,000 this year to help kids and their families living with cancer. We hope you will join us on our journey to make this happen.

Whether you choose to make your goals fun, inspiring, recreational or competitive, know that you will have a huge community of fellow runners or walkers who are training and participating right alongside you in their own virtual way! We are so glad to welcome you – or welcome you back – to the 2021 Toronto Women’s Run Series and 416 Run Challenge events!
