There’s really nothing that beats the feeling of running in Toronto on race morning ☀️>>

Name something that better than this… (wrong answers only)

🍩or 🥨? That is the question…

What’s your favourite post-race snack? Are you a traditionalist with a post-race banana, or a bag of pretzels kind of runner? 👀

We mic’d up @katebeirness at the #UAToronto10K this year, and if this isn’t an accurate representation of a race day brain, I don’t know what is… 😂

And just remember, if you’re a hot dog or an 8 year old, Kate has words for you 🌭…

As summer training ramps up, we’re kicking off a new series: Runner’s Roundtable! 🤝

We want to create a space for discussion around different topics that you may be too scared to ask, are curious about, or where you may be able to share some insight! Each week, we’ll ask a new question, and we can’t wait to hear what you have to say 👀!

Summer training can be daunting in the heat, and a lonely journey. Let’s remember there’s an incredible community that can help us while we train for those fall races! 🫶

We’ll start easy. What’s your running hot take? No judgment. Just runners helping runners. ⬇️ Let’s get into it.

Toronto’s cranking up the heat...

If you’re training through the heat wave, you’re braver than us... But we can make some suggestions from the cool indoors!

🏃‍♀️ Swap to early morning or evening runs
💧 Hydrate like it’s your full-time job
🏋️‍♂️ Take it indoors. Treadmill, strength, or cross-train!!
🧊 Keep it cool with shady routes, light gear & extra rest

Train smart, not scorched. The fall season is coming fast, and your body will thank you later.

2025 marks the third year of KidSport being the ch

2025 marks the third year of KidSport being the charity partner for the Under Armour Toronto 10K. Your donations and fundraising efforts have directly impacted people like Mateja, and she wants to share a bit about her story 💛:

Raised in the southwest end of Toronto by a single mom, money was never abundant. My childhood was not glamorous and often lacked examples of stability. Except for my mom, she was by far the greatest sense of stability I’ve had. My mom is the same one who discovered KidSport. It wasn’t until she did, when I was around 9 years old, that sports were able to take a
stable role in my life. I specifically remember coming home at 11 years old and telling my mom I made a team in my boys hockey club as one of few girls. A new team that would double if not triple the cost we were already paying. I remember looking at my mom as we dragged my hockey bag up to our apartment, controlling my excitement as I refused to let myself believe this was real because there was no way it was going to be possible. She told me “there are ways to make it happen, and I will work on them. All you need to do is tell the coach yes, and show up to practice.” KidSport gave me the “Yes” I needed, an opportunity to not be counted out, and I would do the rest of the work myself.

Sports took a young girl often labeled “bossy” and developed her into a leader. They taught me to learn to appreciate my broad shoulders and long legs in an age where people are forced to think otherwise. Sports gave me a platform for others to support the hard work it takes coming from a background like I do. Sports gave me a voice, and forced me to learn to listen as well.

I hope to diminish the stigma around receiving financial assistance in sports. I hope others are able to develop a new level of compassion for those around them, and for those receiving the assistance, I hope they feel proud instead of ashamed. There is so much more to sport than producing elite athletes. I would not be the human I am today without my time in sport. That’s what sports do, they make better people and gosh, the world can always use more of those

Fundraising closes June 30th, so let's keep the momentum going!

HAPPY NATIONAL MASCOT DAY!! 🦝

Rockie made his big debut at the #UAToronto10K this past weekend, and we couldn’t be prouder 🥹.

We’re not saying we have one the best mascots, but we won’t argue with anyone who tells us we do…

We can’t wait for his next appearance (to meet Explorer Bear at the Toronto Zoo 👀!)

Still not over Saturday 😭!

Legs make be cooked, but our hearts are full 🥹🫶.

Congratulations to all of the participants, and thank you to everyone that came out, cheered, volunteered, and brought the community together at the #UAToronto10K. We’ll be thinking about this one for a while.
