BlackToe Drop-In Runs
Friday Tempo Run
Our Friday runs leave from our King Street West store at 6:00 pm. This run often includes some pace work and will help you improve your speed and endurance. You should have some running experience to jump into this run - it’s a good opportunity to push yourself!

Sunday Long Run
A community favourite! Our Sunday runs are accessible for all levels open to runners 18 and older. We create routes based on our BlackToe Team training programs, but there are many opportunities to turn back early if needed. We also frequently have giveaways, photographers, and other special surprises!
