Join the Toronto Parkland Running Club

If you find solace in running Toronto’s Parks and Trails and want to make some new friends then this club is for you. There will be organized runs every weekend from now until the end of the running season. All event details will be posted on the website.

On a Mission: Come discover Toronto as we run all marked trails and suggested connections on the “City of Toronto’s Parks and Trails Map.” If it’s on the map then we’re going to run it before the end of the running season!

Your health and safety: You should be in good shape and be capable of running (non-stop) for 5km, 10km or 15km. Maps will be posted ahead of all organized runs and we’ll always do our best to run together as a group. No one will ever be left behind.

Meet new friends: At the end of every run there will be a designated meet up location to have a bite–to–eat, drink or simply wind down. Everyone should be easy going and make a concerted effort to welcome new members.

Membership: If you want to join the group for a single run, the cost is $5. An annual membership fee of $20 is paid in full after just four runs. All funds will be used to support organizing runs and club events.

Stay connected and help spread the word: You can monitor upcoming events, by subscribing to the RSS feed, and then decide which runs you want to join. Please let your running friends know about this new group by sending them an e-mail with the website address. I'm hoping to find a few die-hard runners who'll make the commitment to join me for all these runs until the mission is completed.
