The Runners Shop Longest Day Ekiden Relay Race is a team-based long-distance running event held at Tommy Thompson Park in Toronto, Canada. Each team of six runners collectively covers a marathon distance, with two runners completing 10k legs, three running 5k legs, and one finishing with a 7.2k leg while wearing a ceremonial Tasuki sash symbolizing teamwork. The race features a festive atmosphere with opportunities to personalize the sash and enjoy product samples from sponsors like Maurten and HOKA, who also provide prizes.
The event supports the charity Hopes Rise, promoting running, reading, and leadership for children in Canada. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
