Saturday, August
21st, 2010 - 5:30 pm start time
Route
A
Midsummer Night's Run is a magical evening of
running staged on Toronto's East end trails and
Lake Ontario. The run will start before the
sun sets and will be finished by the light of
the moon. Shakespeare's own words well describe
this night as being "...swift as a shadow,
short as any dream..."

around the Balmy Beach Club. We turn-around just
before there.) Please note that a course change
has been submitted to the city for approval for
the 2010 course. This change is NOT reflected in
