The top 10 running events in Toronto this fall

Running events in Toronto this fall are made for runners of all levels who prefer cooler temps and taking in the fall colours . From a marathon to a monster shuffle, there's lots of options to keep active over the coming months.

Events you might want to check out:

Oasis ZooRun (September 23 @ The Toronto Zoo)
Primates will be rooting you on while you chase that PB, and with the hilly legs of the zoo as your backdrop, this fun run may just have you feeling downright sloth like at the big finish.
Global Energy Race (September 24 @ Ashbridges Bay)
Fight hunger and carb load in a whole new way at this Ashbridges Bay race. Each K you crush nets two slices for the North York Harvest Food Bank, with three or 10K routes on deck.
Toronto Corporate Run (September 28 @ Hotel X Toronto by Library Hotel Collection)
Grab your fellow cubicle dwellers and set course for this Ontario Place area race, where charity and corporate responsibility are total besties. CAMH benefits from the donations, so invite the HR department too.
Run for the Cure (October 1 @ University of Toronto, St. George Campus)
Pink is really everyone’s colour, especially on this day, where thousands across Canada will raise funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
2XU Toronto Women's 8k/5k (October 14 @ Sunnybrook Park)
Firefighters are ready to quench your thirst at Sunnybrook Park for the final race of the women’s run. 5 and 8K options mean there’s a little something for everyone.
Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon, Half Marathon (October 22 @ Toronto Waterfront Marathon)
This beast of a race shuts downtown to a crawl, so if you’re not running it you may as well come cheer us on. The mostly downhill route makes it a perfect Boston qualifier.
Monster Dash Toronto (October 29 @ Ontario Science Centre)
Monsters of all shapes and sizes will trample the streets of Leaside for the 5 and 10K routes, this year weaving behind the Science Centre for that Frankenstein effect.
Holly Jolly Fun Run (November 19 @ Start line at Bloor Street West)
Naughty or nice, this race doesn’t judge. Kicking off the Santa Claus Parade each year, the Holly Jolly fun run is just that, with funds raised going toward the big fat man himself.
Santa Shuffle (December 2 @ Wilket Creek Pk. & Sunnybrook Pk.)
Silver bells and red noses are common themes at this Canadian race. 5K is all it takes to support the local Salvation Army.
Beaches Runners Club Tannenbaum (December 6 @ 3 Alfresco Lawn)
This neighbourhood race brings Beach dwellers together for a good cause, with a 10K race around the Martin Goodman Trail.
