Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon 2008

The Toronto Waterfront Marathon is a marathon that has been run in Toronto since 2000 by Runners Choice Promotions Ltd. and is one of the fastest in North America. The program also includes a half marathon , which has been held since 1990, and a five-kilometer run.

The start and finish of the course are at City Hall . After a loop that leads to the harbor, it goes on the shores of Lake Ontariose first west on a turning point route. At the height of the High Park , the turn is made While the half marathon runners go directly from the port to the finish line, the marathon runners head east. First, the man-made island of Leslie Street Spit is headed for , then you reach the easternmost point of the route at Ashbridge's Bay Park , from which it goes straight back to the destination.

Four current age group world records were set in this competition: In 2003 Fauja Singh , then 92 years old, set the record in the age group M 90 with 5:40:04 h, in 2004 the then 73 year old Ed Whitlock ran with 2: 54:49 h best time for the M 70 class. On October 16, 2011, Singh was the first centenarian and therefore the oldest person to run a marathon in Toronto and needed 8:11:05 hours (gross 8:25:16 h). Ed Whitlock set a record for the M 80 age group with 3:15:54 in the same race.
