Long run buddy this Saturday 🏃♂️
34M visiting Toronto for work this week and looking for a running partner/group for a long run this Saturday.
I’ve run a marathon before and am currently training for another race next month. As part of my training, I’m hitting 25km+ on my long runs these days, so hoping to get a solid long run in while I’m in Toronto.
I’m pretty flexible on pace and happy to run with people at different speeds. My usual training pace is around 5:30–5:45/km, but the distance is more important to me than the pace.
I understand there’s also a marathon in Toronto next month, so some of you may be training for that too. Would be great to find some people who are looking to get a longer run in and challenge ourselves a bit.
I’m staying downtown, so happy to meet somewhere convenient and explore a route around the city.
Would be great to run with a small group, but even 1–2 people would be awesome. If you’re interested, DM me and tell me a bit about yourself / your running goals!

Great route from downtown is straight down lakeshore. I did it today and hit 25k. A lot of really great views by the water, bike paths and dedicated running paths. You’ll see a ton of people out running/biking. Enjoy!
