About this Event
It's simple. Everyone starts each loop together, but the time limit gets shorter as we go. Complete your mile before the next loop starts to stay in the game. Miss the cutoff? You're eliminated.
Each loop is one mile, and the time limit gets shorter as we go. Everyone starts together, on the clock.
The first loop kicks off at 9:30 AM. You have 15 minutes to complete it. Heck, we're pretty sure you could even walk it, with all your layers on. Possibly with a coffee and a snack in hand, catching up with your running buddy or FaceTiming your family. Finish early? (You will!) Why not take a bathroom break?
The second loop starts at 9:45 AM sharp. This time, you have 14 minutes to finish your mile. We're pretty sure you'll make it back with plenty of time to spare.
Then it's 13 minutes for the third mile, 12 for the fourth, and 11 for the fifth. A nice little jog there. Easy peasy, right? This is probably when your layers come off. (Oh, and you can totally leave your jackets and bags with us!)
By loop six, you'll have 10 minutes to complete the mile. That's roughly a 6:12/km pace to stay in the game.
From there, things get interesting. The time limit drops by 30 seconds with every loop until loop 13. After that, we're shaving off another 15 seconds per round.
The loops keep coming, the time gets shorter, and boy, do people get faster!
The best part? If you make it through 12 loops, you'll have covered almost 20K by around 11:35 AM! Not a bad way to spend a Sunday morning :)
Whether you're here to push yourself, sneak in a few laps for the vibes, or just spectate, we hope you'll get to move a little more than you normally would on a Sunday morning.
The winner will win something. TBD!
Oh, and it's FREE! But space is limited, so we don't get dinged by Toronto's permit police.
Hope to see you there!
