eh? I don't get it We have a great city for running - so many great routes. How far do you want to go? How much time do you have to spare and are you willing to drive, park and then run?
I am unwilling to drive or take a taxi. ideally would be right outside my hotel (somewhere in the vicinity of union station) I am looking for runs in the 60-90 min range
PBs since age 60: 5k- 24:36, 10k - 47:17. Half Marathon- 1:42:41.

I didn't know about Hyde park, I'll have to venture up that way next time I am in town. DaddyO - is Hyde Park before or after the big windmill thing (when running from downtown)?

High Park, is on the north side of the Expressway (there are foot bridges to get there) and it is about 5k after the hydro-windmill. Whenever anyone is in Toronto and looking for a run, email me - I will try to make it out. (email in signature) D
Hey Jim how have you been? I didn't know the spit was closed on weekdays. I guess Scarborough people are just tourists as well.
I would go to the world famous "Mill st. brewery" for beer. It's about 5k from Union Station. http://greatcanadianpubs.blogspot.com/2007/08/mill-street-brew-pub-toronto-on.html Iwould run part of the Scotia Bank Waterfront marathon course. Head south on Bay to Lakeshore and East on Lakeshore to Commissioner st., then south onto the leslie st. spit, and then back. (About 15Km). http://www.torontowaterfrontmarathon.com/en/map.htm MTA to add link to run course.
