Run with us. Fly your feather.
Interested in joining us? Just show up – no RSVP required.
Suggested workouts are posted on Facebook & distributed via email at the start of the week.
Check out our Facebook group for updates from our Coaching Coordinator, as we occasionally have special events happening where we’ll be meeting at a different location (i.e. Summer Track Series).
Wednesdays at 6:00pm at University Settlement
Wednesday workouts start at the University Settlement House (map). We head down as a group to the Martin Goodman Trail (MGT) where we generally do a tempo or interval/speed workout. We usually all do the same workout (with coaches tweaking workouts for individual needs). This is where you get to experience the group training effect – running in the pack will make everything better!
Expected total distance: 12 km – 16 km
Pace: Once we get to the MGT we break out into smaller pace groups, ranging from sub-3 hour marathoners to 6:00/km+ runners.
Note: Longboat members have access to the change rooms with lockers to store belongings and showers to use after the run. You must bring your own lock, towel, toiletries, etc.
The first Wednesday of every month, we will head to a local establishment after the run for pub night.
Sundays at 8:00am at St. Clair/Vaughn Rd.
Sundays are for long runs. Meeting point is the Tim Hortons near the corner of Vaughan & St. Clair (550 St. Clair W.)
Routes and distance options are posted to Facebook in advance each week.
Expected total distance: 12 km – 32 km (with various turnaround options – your coach will help you pick a pace and distance)
Pace: Multiple pace groups are available
There is no bag check available from this location so please come ready to run!
Last Sunday of the Month at 8:00am at Leslie/Lakeshore Starbucks
Special east end run! The last Sunday of every month we will meet at the Leslie/Lakeshore Starbucks for the long run. Some members meet for coffee afterwards at a local coffee shop.
Main group departs at 8:00am but we will loop back again around 8:30am for those who are starting later.
There is no bag check available from this location so please come ready to run!
Other Runs
Friday ‘Fun Day’
Either track or hill repeats (depending on where we are in the season). This isn’t always regular, but we’ll post on Facebook when it happens.
Sundays at 8:00am at West End YMCA
Currently on hiatus, as we are running from the St. Clair/Vaughn Rd. location. We meet at the YMCA (map) and will follow one of the several running routes that wind through our wonderful city. Routes and distance options are posted on Facebook.
Expected total distance: 15 km – 32 km (with various turnaround options – your coach will help you pick a pace and distance)
Pace: There are multiple groups, but you should be comfortable at 5:30/km.
Note: Runners have free access to the change rooms on Sunday provided you show photo ID. You must bring your own lock, towel, toiletries, etc.
As Longboat Roadrunners, we run to honour the spirit of Onondaga runner Tom Longboat; a member of the Six Nations of the Grand River, Canadian soldier, and Boston Marathon champion.
The land we are standing on today is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.
We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands.
