The Toronto Marathon course is fast, downhill, and scenic. The race starts at Mel Lastman Square in North York and finishing at Ontario Place. The Marathon winds through many of the City’s great neighbourhoods. This Toronto favourite is one of the fastest courses you will find anywhere and is a great qualifier for the Boston Marathon. Many of our participants continue to post PR’s in this event!
