2026 Under Armour Toronto 10K Delivers High Energy to Downtown Toronto with Elite Showdowns, Community Celebration and New Course Debut

By | Uncategorised | No Comments

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.

Announcing the Elite Field for the 2026 Under Armour Toronto 10K

By | Toronto 10K, Under Armour Toronto 10K | No Comments

The Under Armour Toronto 10K is set to deliver another fast and competitive race through downtown Toronto — and the 2026 elite field is shaping up to be one of the strongest yet.

On the women’s side, all eyes will be on Gracelyn Larkin, the 2025 Canadian 10K Champion and Under Armour athlete, alongside returning champion Erin Mawhinney, who has claimed back-to-back victories in 2023 and 2024. Adding to the excitement is Sevanne Ghazarian, fresh off a strong second-place finish at the Beneva Spring Run-Off and stepping up for her 10K debut.

The men’s field is equally deep, led by Max Turek, who arrives in top form after his win at the Spring Run-Off and a 28:36 personal best at the 2025 National 10K Championships. He’ll be joined by Andrew Alexander, the 2024 Canadian 10,000m Champion, setting the stage for a fast and tactical race.

With a mix of proven champions, rising talent, and exciting debuts, this year’s field promises speed, strategy, and plenty of drama from the gun.

Complete Your Running Shoe Lineup with the UA Velociti Distance and Pace

By | Uncategorised | No Comments

Under Armour, title sponsor of Toronto 10K, introduces the UA Velociti Distance and Pace to the full Velociti lineup, delivering a complete fast-running ecosystem, from daily mileage to race day

Under Armour has expanded its next generation Velociti franchise with the addition of the Velociti Distance ($200) and the Velociti Pace ($120), rounding out a comprehensive suite of running footwear designed to support athletes through every phase of training. Building on the momentum established at the end of last year with the launch of Velociti Elite 3, Velociti Pro 2, and Velociti SPD, the franchise continues to reinforce Under Armour’s commitment to athlete led performance and innovation.

The Velociti platform has continued to help elevate athlete performance like Sharon Lokedi, now building toward her return to the Boston Marathon this April with the goal of defending her crown on one of the sport’s most iconic stages. From long run base building to sharpening speed in the final stretch, Lokedi has been relying on Velociti throughout every stage of her race day preparation.

“What I appreciate most is how each Velociti shoe has a clear role in my training. I use the Distance on the long run days that build strength and confidence, and the Elite 3 when I need the extra propulsion and belief to commit when it matters most. Having that consistency lets me focus on execution, one session at a time, so I can arrive on the start line ready to defend,” said Sharon Lokedi.

With the addition of Distance and Pace, Velociti now offers runners a seamlessly connected toolkit engineered to match the demands of an entire training cycle. The Velociti Distance delivers the stability, cushioning, and durability required to support highmileage weeks, giving runners a reliable foundation for longterm progress. Meanwhile, the Velociti Pace brings a lightweight, responsive feel designed to elevate daily training and moderateintensity runs with energyreturning underfoot performance.

Together, the two models extend the franchise beyond the Velociti SPD for lightweight uptempo training, Velociti Pro 2 for structured speed work and race prep, and the Velociti Elite 3 for peak performance on race day, resulting in full footwear lineup engineered to help athletes train smarter and run faster.

“Every shoe in this generation of the Velociti platform was created with a specific purpose in mind, and each one reflects the insights and feedback we’ve gathered from runners at every level.”

“By adding Distance and Pace to the lineup, we’ve completed a system that supports the full training journey. From the slow, steady miles that build strength to the high intensity efforts that sharpen speed. Velociti is about giving athletes a clear path forward, no matter where they are in their run cycle or what goals they’re chasing,” said Jonathan Hutnyan, Senior Product Line Manager of Performance Run Footwear at Under Armour.

Stop by the Under Armour tent at the Toronto 10K to try out the new shoes.

The full Velociti lineup is now available on underarmour.ca. UA has also introduced a range of Velociti branded apparel, including lightweight tops, temperature regulating layers, temperature regulating layers and fast drying shorts. All of these pieces are available to complement the footwear models and provide runners with a head-to-toe system built for speed, comfort, and daily performance.

Your Best Run Yet: The Under Armour Stretches Every Athlete Needs

By | Toronto 10K, Under Armour Toronto 10K | No Comments

Under Armour, the title sponsor of the Toronto 10K, shares these runner stretches to help prep for your next run:

Easing into a run with a stretching routine is one of the quickest and easiest ways to warm up your muscles. Skipping the stretch essentially means the first part of your run is your warmup. Dynamic stretching helps loosen your muscles, which naturally contract when you’re sitting down. If you’ve ever started jogging without stretching, in the very early part of your run, your muscles can feel stiff and cold. Once your body temperature heats up, your muscles often start to relax, and your run can feel easier. The pre-stretching you do should imitate the movements you make during your run. Below are some stretches you can perform to help you get loose. Remember to consult with a physician before starting any exercise program.

The Best Pre-Run Stretches

Dynamic stretches involve simple, repetitive movements that increase your muscle flexibility gradually. Arm circles—extending your arms straight out and parallel to the ground and first making small circles slowly with your hands and then making them larger and faster—are an example of a dynamic exercise. Below are 6 stretches you can do before your next run.

  • Butt Kicks : Butt kicks warm up your quadriceps and hamstrings. Standing straight up with your chest pressed slightly forward and your hands folded in front of you, bring your heels to your butt and then return to your starting position.  
  • Knee to Chest: With your back flat on the ground and your knees bent, grab one knee with both hands and pull it until it touches your chest (if you can). Repeat with the other knee. This exercise helps loosen your hips and back. 
  • Leg Swings : Standing perpendicular, swing your leg forward and back as far as possible. Repeat with your other leg. You can do this exercise either assisted (with one hand on a wall) or unassisted. Leg swings help warm up your hamstrings. For a lateral leg swing, stand straight up and swing your leg out and bring it back in a controlled manner. Lateral leg swings warm up your hips. 
  • Hip Openers : Lie flat on your back and bring your right ankle over your left knee, which is resting on the ground at a 90-degree angle. With your hands on your hips, move your right knee toward your chest, bringing it in and out. For an advanced stretch, grab your right ankle with your right hand, and rotate your hips to the left. Your left knee should be flat or close to flat on the floor. Rotate your right knee in and out. Repeat on your other knee. This exercise increases the range of motion for your hips. 
  • Toy Soldiers : Starting on your right foot, kick your left leg to your right hand, which is fully extended in front of you. If you can, touch your hand to your foot. This exercise helps stretch your hamstrings. 
  • Calf Raise : Standing against a wall with your right leg down and left leg off the floor, lift your right heel off the floor using the front of your foot. Once you’ve stretched your foot as far as possible, lower your right heel to the ground. Your calf muscle should contract on the way up and release on the way down. Using the same movements, you can perform a 2-leg calf raise without using the support of a wall.

5-Minute Dynamic Stretching Routine for Runners

Butt Kicks

30 Seconds

Knee to Chest

10 x Each Leg

Forward Leg Swings

30 Seconds

Hip Openers

10 x Each Leg

Toy Soldiers

30 Seconds

Calf Raise

15 x Each Calf

When you perform your pre-stretch run, keep the pace easy. It’s important to save energy for your run. You don’t want to feel fatigued.

Running Gear That Supports Your Stretch

If you’re going to stretch, running gear that’s stretchy, comfortable, and lightweight is preferable. It’s important that your movements don’t feel inhibited by what you’re wearing. Below are some tips for clothing and gear to wear while stretching.

  • Shoes : Avoid shoes that feel stiff or too big. Your shoes should fit comfortably, be lightweight and airy, and have plenty of cushion to soften the impact of your feet landing on the ground. Be sure to come check out Under Armour’s Velociti running shoe trial at the Toronto 10K.
  • Moisture-Wicking Clothing : Whether it’s leggings, traditional shorts, or HeatGear® for hot weather running or ColdGear® for running when it’s cold, look for material that’s comfortable, stretchy, and that absorbs moisture to help keep you cool. 
  • T-shirts : Your T-shirts should be airy, loose, and moisture wicking. Avoid tight fitting T-shirts without 4-way stretch that could restrict your movements and stay away from 100% cotton, which doesn’t wick moisture.

Rwandan Leads Competitive Field at 2025 Under Armour Toronto 10K

By | Under Armour Toronto 10K | No Comments

By Paul Gains

Salome Nyirarukundo returns to the Under Armour Toronto 10K on Saturday, June 14th in search of the victory that has eluded her the past two years.

The Rwandan finished second in both the 2024 and 2023 editions of this Canada Running Series race and would like nothing more than to reach the top step on the podium this time.

“Absolutely, you know, I am a very competitive woman I am always trying to improve myself racing better and better,” says the 27-year-old Ottawa resident. “I am sure that this year I am going to have a good race. I believe in myself and I can compete and win the race. Who knows? Everybody has a chance.”

Nyirarukundo trains with the Ottawa Lions Track and Field Club under coach Ray Dupuis while holding down two jobs at local hospitals.

“I am employed in long term care as a personal support worker,” she explains. “I work at the hospital, I have actually two jobs. I am not in the shape I used to be but I am getting there.”

Earning a living has led her to employ tremendous time management skills and she fits in training around her work schedule. Clearly she is a special athlete with tremendous potential as she demonstrated as an 18-year-old when she set a Rwandan national 10,000m record of 31:45.82 and represented her country at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Two years later she made her way to Canada where she is now a ‘permanent resident’. One day she hopes to become a Canadian citizen.

“There was more opportunity here in Canada for people who want to make a new life,” she says of her decision to leave her home and family. “My biggest dream was having the chance to one day represent Canada whether it’s at the world championships or the Olympics. That is my biggest dream. Maybe my dream will come to true. Who knows.”

Among those she will face in Toronto are 2015 Pan Am Games marathon bronze medalist, Rachel Hannah who finished third here the past two years. The pair had another battle recently at the Canadian 10km championships in Ottawa with Nyirarukundo once again getting the better of her rival finishing 4th while the 38-year-old Hannah came home 6th.

Kylie Raftis, a graduate of Boston College, will also be a contender. The Toronto native was the top Canadian finisher at this year’s Boston Marathon finishing in 2:34:41 and in another coincidence, just one second ahead of Hannah.

The men’s race also promises to be a highly competitive affair with Lee Wesselius, the third-place finisher a year ago, returning.

The 31-year-old from River Glade, New Brunswick has a personal best of 29:13 set on this course in 2021 while finishing 7th in the Canadian 10k Championships. He also ran the 2024 TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon – which includes the 10k course – when he improved his personal best at that distance to 2:13:52. That resulted in 9th place.

“I am pretty familiar with the course and I guess I have raced on it enough to know what parts are easier,” he offers. “I have a good grasp of the course.

“I think I am in pretty similar shape to when I ran my personal best.  In Ottawa I ran 13 or 14 seconds off my ‘PB’ but we went out close to ’29 flat’ pace.  I think if the pace was a little more smooth it possibly would have been in the cards (in Ottawa) for a new personal best.”

Wesselius is working as a large animal veterinarian in Winchester, Ontario just south of Ottawa and says he’s learned to manage to pack in between 160 and 180 kilometres a week around his busy work schedule. Once a month he must work on-call on a weekend which can pose complications.

“I will stay close to the practice and kind of hope that I am not called out,” he says of his response to the potential conflicts between his two vocations.

Among the challengers Wesselius will face is Connor Black of the London Western Track Club. He was the 2022 Canadian Cross Country champion and has improved significantly since finishing one place behind Wesselius in the 2021 Canadian 10k Championships.

Then there’s Thomas Nobbs, who was second in a personal best (1:03:02) in the Project 13.1 Half Marathon in Congers, New York back in March. He then finished 7th in the Vancouver Sun Run 10k in 29:18 though that course has a slight decline in elevation rendering times unofficial.

Wesselius will be seeking a podium place and knows he has a chance at victory but he’s clinical in his assessment.

“I will have to see what the fields are like. You mentioned Connor Black is running I know he’s pretty fit,” Wesselius admits. “And Thomas Nobbs is also in pretty good shape. I do feel I am in better shape than I was the previous two times. It depends on how the race plays out.”

With a week remaining until the Under Armour Toronto 10K the race has over 8,000 entries. It’s not surprising. The race has attracted runners from nine Canadian provinces, two territories, thirteen US states and twenty-eight countries.

Beyond the Finish Line: How the Under Armour Toronto 10K is Helping Kids Play

By | Toronto 10K, Uncategorised, Under Armour Toronto 10K | No Comments

Under Armour’s Toronto 10K isn’t just about the finish line, it’s about creating opportunities for kids across Canada to play, grow and belong through sport. That’s why the race partners with KidSport Ontario.

Recognizing cost as one of the greatest barriers around the globe and specifically impacting one in three youth in Canada, Under Armour has chosen to partner with KidSport as they provide financial assistance with sports registration fees and equipment costs. Sports not only keeps kids active but helps lay the foundation for a strong community. When children participate in organized sports, they develop focus, motivation and the energy to succeed in school. They gain confidence, learn teamwork and grow into leaders. Simply put, sport has the power to change lives.

At the Under Armour Toronto 10K, children have a chance to run in the Kids Race, an 800-meter course where they’ll cross the finish line, earn a medal and feel like part of the action.
