2026 ASICS Move Her Mind Shakeout Run

ASICS Move Her Mind Shakeout Run!

Join us as we celebrate the completion of the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon Women's Training Program powered by ASICS with the ASICS Move Her Mind Shakeout Run on Saturday, October 17th at 9:00 AM, starting at the Better Living Centre in Toronto.

We’ll have a relaxed 4km "loop" option to shake off pre-race nerves, with pacing between 6:30 min/km and 11:00 min/km. After the run, enjoy snacks and goodies, courtesy of ASICS.

Why This Matters:

ASICS’ global research shows that when women move, they feel better, yet over half stop exercising due to various barriers. This Shakeout Run is a celebration of your dedication, aiming to inspire and encourage more women to keep moving, no matter the challenges. Even small steps, like joining a local running group or supporting female athletes, can help break down barriers to exercise.
