Thousands take part in one of the city’s most anticipated 10K events
TORONTO, ON (April 18, 2026) – The 2026 Under Armour Toronto 10K brought more than 5,000 runners, walkers, wheelers and families to the heart of downtown Toronto today, delivering a high-energy celebration of sport, community and inclusivity.
For 2026, the event moved to a new start and finish line at Nathan Phillips Square, where participants experienced a reimagined course through the city core while still capturing the scenic Lakeshore views that define the race. The downtown location made the event more accessible than ever, with many participants arriving directly via TTC Line 1 to take part in the day’s festivities.
A signature event in Canada Running Series’ (CRS) national calendar, the Under Armour Toronto 10K once again proved to be a true “run for everyone,” welcoming elite athletes, first-time runners, families, run clubs and adaptive participants. As an Athletics Canada Label race, the event also featured a strong elite field, bringing an exciting level of competition to the front of the pack alongside a vibrant community race experience.
“This was a landmark day for Canada Running Series and for the Under Armour Toronto 10K,” said Charlotte Brookes, CEO, Canada Running Series. “From our exciting move to Nathan Phillips Square, to world-class elite competition and thousands of participants embracing the new downtown course, today showed the incredible momentum of running in our city. Toronto’s run community continues to grow, and events like this prove we can evolve, innovate and create unforgettable race experiences for everyone.”
Like many major events in Toronto this year, Canada Running Series adapted to scheduling considerations and road closures related to FIFA events taking place in the city. Despite these changes, the Under Armour Toronto 10K maintained its signature race experience, combining a dynamic course, enthusiastic crowd support and a welcoming atmosphere for all participants.
The elite field once again delivered thrilling performances at the front of the pack. The men’s race was a dramatic battle to the finish, with Max Turek and Andrew Alexander crossing together at 29:13, with Turek awarded the win in a photo-finish thriller. Jack O’Farrell was just three seconds back in 29:16 to secure third, capping one of the closest finishes in recent event history.
In the women’s race, Under Armour athlete Regan Yee powered to victory in an impressive 33:01. Sevanne Ghazarian delivered a strong performance to secure second place in 33:05 after a sustained push to the finish line. Regan and fellow Under Armour athlete Gracelyn Larkin both came up from Flagstaff, Arizona, where they train as part of Under Armour’s Mission Dark Sky training group. Larkin, who is the reigning Canadian 10K road champion, ran strongly to take third in 33:14.
Participants ranged widely in age and experience, from young runners in the Kids Race to seasoned athletes competing at a high level. The event once again served as a gathering point for Toronto’s vibrant run community, with local run clubs, crews and spectators showing up in full force to support participants along the course.
Following the Under Armour Toronto 10K, Canada Running Series will continue its 2026 season with events across the country, including a return to Toronto this fall for the Oasis Zoo Run and the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon.
