The Marathon runs from Wellington across Prince Edward County, eventually finishing in Picton. The Half Marathon runs the last half of the marathon route.

​Along the way, participants are treated to some gorgeous rustic scenes.

Pimm reports on the day he conducted the measurements, the local temperature of 30 degrees C. broke a record. And the local newspaper, THE TIMES, covered it - see here.

Check out the video below to see what a great Family Event this is. And for more information visit the website, http://torontoislandrun.com.

Coach Pimm’s 1991 Women’s XC Team inducted in to U of T Hall of Fame

7/28/2017

0 Comments

 
[from the desk of Coach Pimm]
               
In 1991, the University of Toronto Women’s Cross Country team I was coaching,  pulled off a major upset, winning the Canadian University Championship.

​Most upset was the heavily favoured University of Victoria team especially given that Victoria was hosting the championships.
​

Making the outcome seem more unlikely was the fact that the ladies  had “only” finished 2nd at the Ontario Championships a couple of weeks earlier.

It was a very good day since on the same day, my men’s team, decisively won their national championship. But that was expected. 

In recognition of the Women’s accomplishment, the team was   inducted in to the University of Toronto Sports Hall of Fame on Thursday June 8, 2017. Also inducted as an individual was the team’s outstanding runner, Alison Evanoff. The announcement is here . 
​

And here’s the team... liking my Tom Selleck moustache.

Toronto Island flooding delays race route certifications

7/28/2017

0 Comments

 
As is well known, this Spring and Summer, Mother Nature has presented more than a challenge to the Toronto  Islands. Just ask the carp that have been enjoyably swimming about on premises normally reserved for picnickers.  
Picture
Ted: Hey Frank - are those Carps? Frank: Yep
The situation has resulted in the delay of a couple of Island Run events  from getting their routes certified. 

Coach Pimm has been commissioned to measure the Divas Half Marathon as well as the Longboat Toronto Island Run's 5 and 10 km. routes. However, the Divas event, which was originally scheduled for June 11, had to change venues, moving their event to The Donlands (NB- the route was not certified, but the  organizers indicated on their website, they will hold their event  on  the Toronto Island in 2018 - and it will on a certified route).


As for the Longboat event, which isn't until September 10, they'reencouraged by the recent re-opening of most of the Island. So their fingers are crossed...

Peter was recently commissioned to accurately measure an 8 km. route for the United Jewish Appeal's Run with Israel which will be happening in Toronto  on Monday May 22, 2017. 

Although the route is not being being submitted for Athletics Canada certification, the Coach used a calibrated Jones Counter in order to guarantee an the distance and km. locations are accurate. Let's just say it's "Pimm Certified".

This year's route takes you through the streets of Downtown Toronto, beginning at Coronation Park, and ending at Ontario Place with the Renee & Irwin Nadal Festival.

UJA's Run with Israel takes place alongside UJA's Walk with Israel, this event is the largest solidarity Walk and fundraiser in support of the people of Israel in North America.  Every dollar raised from this fundraising event goes directly to support the people of Israel through UJA's programs and services.

UJA's Run with Israel is paid for through corporate sponsorship, so 100% of the funds raised are allocated to UJA's partner communities in Sderot, Bat Yam, and the Eilat/Eilot region.
