Introducing 2K Tuesdays, powered by ASICS Canada!
Here's your guide to getting race day ready for the 2025 Forest City Road Races!

Each Tuesday at 6:00 pm starting on May 6th, we kick things off with a 20-minute talk/demo (weather permitting, in the amphitheater at Sifton Legacy Park), followed by a fun and engaging training run!

Choose your workout:
Participants can opt for a relaxed 2K loop (repeat as many times as you'd like), or for a more challenging session with speed/interval work on the 2K loop. Group leaders will explain the session before starting!
