Holiday Run and Taste 5K : Toronto
The Holiday Run and Taste is a city 5K loop held on November 28, 2026 in downtown Toronto. The route passes through the Financial District, St. Lawrence Market, the Distillery District, the Canary District and Front Street, with five designated tasting stops at local food partners along the course.
Entry includes a Holiday Dessert Spoon finisher medal, an official race bib, five signature holiday tastings at local bakeries and restaurants, and a stainless steel soup container as event swag. The listed tasting partners are Circles and Squares Bakery, SOMA Chocolatemaker, Eve's Temptations, SOUK Tabule and COBS Bread.
The event uses self-corralled wave starts. Participants choose a group on arrival; groups are limited to 30 people and leave in waves every three minutes. Bib pick up is available in advance at Eve's Temptations in the St. Lawrence Market on specified dates before the event, with race-day pick up also offered.
Race-day perks include partner discounts such as a 15% discount at Circles and Squares and special offers at other participating vendors. The organizer also lists a 2027 series with multiple seasonal runs across Toronto neighbourhoods and notes that registration for the 2027 series opens December 7.
