This 16-week program is completely free, made for women and designed by women. In addition to the suggested runs/workout plan, we will be dropping weekly guest speakers to help you fully prepare for race day!
To best utilize this program (and not miss out on any of the exciting events we have planned leading up to the marathon) we encourage you to join our private Facebook Group. We will be releasing updates with a guest speaker video/ audio, training plan for the week, news about upcoming events & the opportunity to connect with other women participating in the training program!

SheRACES Accredited
Canada Running Series and the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon are proud to be working with SheRACES to make our 
events more inclusive and welcoming for women and excited to be the first event in Canada to be accredited by SheRACES.
SheRACES is a non-profit working towards breaking down the barriers to women in endurance sports. We work directly with race directors to help them address as many of these barriers as possible to make running, trail, triathlon, cycling, and more as accessible to all women as possible.
