Downsview parkrun

Parkrun is a free, weekly, timed 5k run/jog/walk every Saturday at 9:00 am. Open to all ages and all abilities – each week a Tail Walker will be present, so you will never be last. This event is organized by parkrun volunteers.

The event takes place at Downsview Park, 70 Canuck Ave., North York, Toronto, ON M3K 2C5. Please see their Course page for more details.

What does it cost to join in?
Nothing – it's free! But please register before you first come along. You only need ever to register with parkrun once and don't forget to bring a scannable copy of your barcode (request a reminder). If you forget it, you won't get a time.

How fast do I have to be?
We all take part for our own enjoyment. Please come along and join whatever your pace might be!

Volunteering at parkrun
Parkrun happens every week thanks to our amazing volunteers.

There are plenty of opportunities to try new roles, apply your skills or learn new ones, be with friends and family, meet people and be a part of the parkrun community.

You don’t need any experience of parkrun or of volunteering. There are a range of roles to choose from, and many of them can be combined with walking or running too.
You can volunteer alone or team up with someone else, and there are always people on hand if you have any questions.

Every time you volunteer gets you one step closer to an official parkrun milestone, which rewards those who have volunteered 10 (for those under 18), 25, 50, 100, 250 or 500 times.

If you would like to volunteer please email downsview@parkrun.com and we will be in touch. Available roles can be found on our future roster page

We also can sign off on High School volunteer hours!
