Toronto Santa Speedo Run day - 3+ kms through the heart of Yorkville punctuated by jumping jacks, push ups and bad carol singing.

Good luck with that....

Just this weekend in the GTA there are 2 running events, the Ride to Conquer Cancer, Toronto Indy (not related but disruptive), the Naked Biked Ride, a Portugese heritage street party on Bloor and goodness knows what else.
