About
Longboat Roadrunners is a not-for-profit club named after the Onondaga runner Tom Longboat, Boston Marathon champion. Its Wednesday evening session leaves University Settlement House at 6:30 pm and heads to the Queen's Park loop, where runners split into pace groups for an easy run or a tempo or speed workout; the total is usually 8 to 14 km, and on the first Wednesday of the month the group goes on to a pub.
Sunday is long-run day at 8:00 am. The main group starts from University Settlement and often follows the Martin Goodman Trail along the lake for 15 to 32 km; a slower group (about 6:00 to 7:00 per km) meets at the Tim Hortons at 550 St. Clair Avenue West, and on the last Sunday of the month the long run starts from the Starbucks at Leslie and Lake Shore. Routes are posted in the club's Facebook group, and members can use the change rooms and showers at University Settlement.
