Welcome to the TRC!
We are a social running club based in midtown Toronto since 1995. All runners are welcome. We start and end every run at the North Toronto Memorial Community Centre (NTMCC). We meet inside the front doors of NTMCC 5 to 10 minutes before each run.
When?
We run 3 days a week:
- Mondays at 6pm (5k)
- Wednesdays at 6:30pm (10k)
- Saturday mornings at 9am (10k)
We run all year long, rain or shine, snow or ice! Pick and choose which run(s) you wish to attend.
What to bring?
NTMCC has parking, change and washroom facilities for runners to use, if required. Lockers are available depending on NTMCC hours. Runners should bring a proper lock.
Seasonally appropriate reflective clothing with running lights are strongly recommended for our Monday and Wednesday runs in the Fall, Winter and Spring.
A good pair of running shoes is a must! Visit your local running store to get properly fitted. Ask a group member if you need any advice on a good pair of shoes or place to buy them.
Bring water, if needed. There is limited/no access to water during the Fall, Winter & Spring months. NTMCC is usually open before runs to fill water bottles.

Safety and Etiquette
This club requests that its members engage in safe and courteous running. Which means wearing lights and/or reflectives when it’s dark, calling out obstructions, checking every direction at intersections, giving way to pedestrians and calling out to warn them we’re coming, shifting off a sidewalk to go around people and more. Please run responsibly!
