BlackToe Holiday 10k

The BlackToe Holiday 10k is BACK to give our running community the chance to cap off the year with a fast (and festive!) race, all while supporting a wonderful organization in Community Centre 55! We hope you'll join us in this celebration of another year of running, friendly competition, and community. Don't wait — lock in your bib today with Early Bird pricing. This race will sell out, and we'd hate to see you miss out on the best race of the season!

The BlackToe Holiday 10k is about more than just racing. It's our opportunity to work together to make a difference in our community. That is why we've chosen to support Community Centre 55, an organization local to the Toronto Beaches-East York area that strives to provide both adults and children with educational and recreational resources, including childcare, fitness classes, and youth camps.

Race Day Highlights!

Stay Salty: We've learned a thing or two from Canadian Decembers. That's why we're beefing up our on-course monitoring team in 2026 and making sure we have extra salt, shovels, and helping hands ready to go if the weather decides to get creative.

Personal Best Awards: So, not all of us are sprinting for a spot on that podium, but we still have a goal for you to chase! The PB awards are BACK! If you finish the race in a personal-best time, we'll have a special treat for you after the finish. Be sure to enter your current 10k PB at registration to qualify.

Fun Kids Race: Not only can parents run with their kids, but we will also have a special cheer squad and pacers to make sure the our littlest runners have an awesome (and safe) race experience!

Post-Race Hangout: Join us in our Warming Area to socialize, grab a snack, check out our sponsor tables, and show off your medal during our post-race party. Nutritious snacks and hydration will be available to participants to replenish your energy.

All Runners Celebrated: We won’t forget about the back-of-the-pack crowd! The final participant to cross the finish line will be escorted across and receive a special prize to celebrate their finish.

Equity Best Practices: This race is committed to ensuring equity for women's, men's, non-binary, and gender-non identifying members of the community.

Fast Fun: For those who are feeling competitive, we will have a strong elite field complete with speedy pacers and prize money for top finishers.

Age Group Prizes: We have some excellent prizes that are worthy of your efforts!

Awesome Swag: Race kits include beanies, medals, and more!

Say Cheese!: We’ll have professional photographers and videographers on the course providing free photos for all participants. Start practicing that finish-line pose!
