This weekend brings out some long distance runners for the annual GoodLife Fitness Toronto Marathon on Sunday May 15, 2011.
To ensure the athletes are not lonely we will also have the Mississauga Marathon which is also known as the Greater Toronto Spring Marathon. Throw in an Expo, entertainment, a bunch of other races and the main May 14 and 15, 2011 Full and Half Marathons you have a great event. I have a friend going into the half marathon - good luck Dorothy McNair!
A full marathon run is 42.2 km and the half marathon is 21.1 km and I am amazed that people can complete this length, heck the marijuana marchers only covered a fraction of that distance and they were all hacking up a lung.
