This is an Ekiden-style relay race, a long-distance team running event. Each team consists of six runners who collectively cover a marathon distance (42.2 km). The distance breakdown for team members is as follows: two people run 10 km, three people run 5 km, and one person runs 7.2 km.
The event takes place at Tommy Thompson Park in Toronto. It is associated with fundraising for the charity Hopes Rise, a running, reading, and leadership program for children.
Teams receive a Tasuki sash to personalize on-site. Awards are provided by sponsors Asics and Vuori.
Participant capacity is limited due to permissions from the Toronto Regional Conservation Authority. Dogs are not permitted in the park. Registration is team-based, with only the team captain registering initially. The cost is $180 per team (fees included). Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
