How: It will be a 5K course along the Beach –

20K runners will do a total of 4 laps, while 5K and 10K runners will combine in a relay format to do the full 20K (e.g., 2 5K runners and 1 10K runners; 2 10K runners, etc. – we’ll make up the relay teams if you already haven’t sent over your list)

Hello Longboaters!

We are just two weeks away from our next event!  On Saturday, October 24^th, we will be having an 8 km and on Sunday, October 25^th, a 16 km. Both races will be run on the Martin Goodman Trail by Cherry Beach and the Leslie Street Spit. Maps will be sent out at a later date.  

Races will begin at 9:00am on both days.  You may sign up to run one or both races (a.k.a. The Road Warrior).  However – entry will be limited to 20 runners per race to stay within provincial outdoor gathering guidelines.  Therefore, the two race Road Warrior option will only be available if there is space.

Please note we will be following physical distancing measures and all provincial recommendations.

To sign up, email Steve Metzger at stevemetzger3@gmail.com and indicate which race you will be running. If you would like to run both races, please specify your first choice.

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Hi all –

Hope everybody is staying safe & healthy.

Just wanted to notify the membership before we make the official public announcement –

Due to the continually evolving situation regarding COVID-19, we, unfortunately (after much deliberation), have made the difficult decision to cancel both the 2020 Sunset Shuffle and the Longboat Toronto Island Race.

Our executive board, with input and support from the race committee, has continued to follow the evolving recommendations from public health officials. Ultimately, the final decision was based on the need to do our part to help keep our participants, volunteers, club members, and the greater community safe.

We trust that you, our valued club members, understand and support this decision.

Please know that the executive board will continue to follow all public health guidelines and recommendations; and keep everyone updated as to when we will be able to resume club activities.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in person as soon as we can!

Hi all! Hope everybody is staying sane & safe –

Wednesday, April 22 @ 6:00 p.m. via Facebook Live

In case you missed the announcement on Facebook, Stephen Walter will be hosting a strength workout for runners at 6pm tomorrow (Apr 22) on Facebook Live! The workout will be geared towards the muscle groups that we use while running.

If possible, please have the following items available –

• exercise loop band (optional)
• thick book (for certain exercises)
• yoga mat or soft surface

Ideally, you will have a regular run warm up done beforehand, so we can get straight into our warm up drills.

There will also be a question & answer period at the end of the session.

Instructions about how to connect to the live video will be posted on Wednesday (you should be able to access the Facebook Live video even if you don’t have a Facebook account).
