After the 2019 Toronto Challenge 5Km Charity Run

After missing out on the annual Toronto Challenge 5Km charity run for a few years, it was a pleasure for me to get back on the saddle.

This was the first time I went to City Hall for the Toronto Challenge; it used to be held at Metro Hall, a bit to the south-west. This location has great access by TTC; the 501 Queen streetcar route is right there.

I took my photos outside City Hall, in Nathan Phillips Square. The first shows the main stage in the background.

I had pre-registered online; Running Room handles those details. The link was through the Toronto Challenge web page, so that was pretty easy to find.

City Hall hosted the race kit pick-up, baggage check, washrooms, last-minute registration, and donation drop-off.  Outside, in Nathan Phillips Square, we heard announcements and warmed up before the race. Oh yes, afterwards, we picked up snacks after crossing the very visible finish line.

The actual 5Km run started on University Avenue, went up and around Queen’s Park Crescent, down University to Adelaide, and back up University. The finish line was in the north-west part of Nathan Phillips Square.

I’m still getting back into running after some time off with minor injuries, and a lot of ice on the sidewalks last winter. I was happy with what I could do, and look forward to further improvements.

The Toronto Challenge is an annual Toronto event in the spring. People raise funds for their favourite assisted-living facility in Toronto. Long-term care homes are well represented, especially in the 5Km walk and 1Km walk. I really admire the people who struggle through those events despite age or physical challenges; by comparison, most of us runners are just having fun.

There’s the finish line! You’d think I’d be smiling since I took the photo before the race began. Maybe I was just too serious about it!
