Caffeine Run Toronto

Walk/5K/10K/Half

Be Caffeinated and Run Rhino are partnering up again to bring together all of our two favorite things, Running and Coffee!

You have the option to run a 5k, 10K, or Half Marathon. Would you rather WALK for coffee? That works for us too! Grab your fill up before you head out if you choose and walk our shorter, 1.5 mile loop!

Participants will all receive a short sleeve t-shirt; a branded, ceramic finishers mug and a full cup of coffee and some baked goodies upon completion of the race!

The start/finish area will have hot chocolate set up for spectators and participants, and we'll have the jams going all morning!

The race will be mass start and will be chip timed!
