Longboat Toronto Island Run
The Longboat Toronto Island Run offers multiple race distances on Centre Island, including events for adults and children. The 5 km and 10 km courses follow a scenic route on Centre Island and are flat.
There are two children’s events: a timed 1 mile race and an untimed 1 km fun run. All children in both races receive a bib and a race shirt; the fun run is not chip timed.
