More than 25,000 runners hit the streets for
the 28th edition of the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront
Marathon
TORONTO, Oct. 19, 2017 /CNW/ - On Sunday, October 22, more than 25,000 elite and
recreational runners from over 70 countries will hit the streets
for the 28th edition of the Scotiabank Toronto
Waterfront Marathon (STWM). STWM is more than a great running event
– through the Scotiabank Charity Challenge, the race raises money
for nearly 200 local charities that are focused on helping young
people reach their infinite potential and building vibrant
communities. Over the weekend, the event also brings more than
$30 million in economic activity to
the GTA, creating the equivalent of 100 full-time, year-round
jobs.
The Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon works closely with
the City of Toronto, Toronto Police, Toronto Transit Commission and
City Councillors to minimize disruptions and inconveniences for
Toronto residents.
