Welcome!
Join us on our free weekly run! We meet every Tuesday at 6:15pm We run all year long, rain or shine, with 7K, 10K and 12K options and people running a range of paces every week. We're a friendly, inclusive group: all genders and paces are welcome. All we ask is that you can run 7K comfortably.
If you are running with the Rats for the first time, please complete the registration form.
We meet inside the Eaton Centre, at the Compass Rose, on Level 2, near Swarovski, right above the water fountain.
Practice standard government recommended Covid precautions, e.g. maintain distance, be aware of your social bubble, do not attend if sick, symptomatic, exposed, under quarantine rules, etc.
Stay safe out there and Run with the Spirit!
We are the Running Rats
Founded in 2002, we’re one of Toronto’s best run clubs. We welcome runners of all abilities, from people training for their first 10K ever, to sub-3-hour Boston qualifiers. We’re a dedicated group who meet every week year-round, but we’re here to have fun – all those weekly miles are more fun with friends.
Drop in any Tuesday and join us!
Run with us every Tuesday!
We offer a variety of routes throughout the downtown core each week. Check out some of our routes in the link below.
Run with us online!
We’re not just social in person! Follow us on Instagram to see all the shots Mike gets with his, uh, unique GoPro technique. Members have access to our Facebook, What's App and Strava groups to know the week’s route and learn about upcoming special events!
Rats gear available!
Rats singlets, short and long sleeve shirts, caps and visors are ideal for running and racing. Logos on the front and the back, so people know who just passed them! Perfect for race day: lightweight and with a handy horizontal line and centre mark so you’ll never pin your number on crooked again. If you’re interested, speak to Mike for details.
