About Marathon races in Toronto

Toronto Training Notes

Toronto hosts 8 Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Toronto has better options than most runners realize. Locals use the 56km Martin Goodman Trail for flat Z2, winter base miles, and long runs with zero navigating. Liberty Village and King West runners reach lake access in five minutes. High Park gives you 400 acres, forest trails, Grenadier Pond, and south-end hills for repeats. The Kay Gardner Beltline Trail gives tempo work a 9km uninterrupted line with no traffic lights. Toronto Trail Runners hit Edwards Gardens, Sunnybrook Park, and Serena Gundy Park. Portland Runners Toronto, Queer Run Club, Small World Run Club, and Front Runners Toronto keep Saturdays busy. Sporting Life 10K, Toronto Waterfront 10K, and Waterfront Marathon anchor the calendar.

Toronto riders use the Martin Goodman Trail, Great Lakes Waterfront Trail, Humber River Trail, Don River Trail, and Finch Corridor Trail for steady city miles. TBN runs urban and rural rides on paved paths and roads, with fast country rides on rolling hills outside the city. Dark Horse Flyers Cycling Club keeps downtown riding social, organized by ability, and good for post-ride route talk. East York and Scarborough give casual gravel, while Guelph and Hamilton pull riders toward bigger days. 8km. 6km. Cyclon 2026 sits as the anchor event for TBN riders.

Spring and fall give Toronto the cleanest training rhythm, with milder temps and fewer crowds. Summer gives long daylight, warm humid rides, and lake breezes that help when the city feels hot. The waterfront gets crowded by 9am on weekends, so locals start early for intervals or long Z2. The ravines and High Park stay much cooler in July and August. Winter changes the plan from November to April, when temperatures often sit around -5 to +2C. The Martin Goodman Trail becomes the reliable run option after snow. Cyclists keep an eye on slush, frozen ruts, and streetcar tracks, with January and February usually the hardest months.
