Tommy Compton Memorial Run

The 2K course will include a segment that will take participants through the penitentiary and then out onto King Street to a turnaround location, then return back through the penitentiary to the start/finish line.

Tom Compton was an active runner and biker who worked in the elementary education system. His focus was to help students achieve their goals, not only in the classroom, but also in sports and physical activities.  We are proud to host this event, with the support of his family, in his honour.

Waterfront 10K

The 10K route will take runners through the penitentiary and exit onto King Street West, through the Olympic harbour ring road and link up with the Waterfront Trail.  This will include a segment through the Providence Care Hospital roadway network before continuing on the Lakefront Trail.  Runners will be guided to a turnaround location inside Lake Ontario Park near the corner of King Street West. Runners will return to the start/finish line, on the east side of the penitentiary following the same network of trails and roads.

Sunday
