Toronto Race Closures: Plan Ahead This Saturday

0:00If you're hitting downtown Toronto this Saturday, better map out a detour, folks. The Canada Running Series under armor. Toronto 10K race is shutting down major streets from 3.30 a.m. to 12 p.m. over 7,000. 700 runners are signed up, plus 250 kids tackling an 800 meter dash. Bay streets fully close both ways from Dundes Street West to Lake Shore Boulevard West. Westbound lanes on Lake Shore shut from Young to Bathurst and both directions from Bathurst to British Columbia Road. Stracken Avenue's Block 2 from Fleet Street to Lake Shore. These closures mean delays for drivers, so Toronto police urge alternate routes. From 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., no access from Spadina onto Lake Shore and entries cut off at York Street, though the Westbound Gardener ramp stays. Open there. Limited access hits spots like the Eaton Center parking lot, Marriott Loading Docks on Bay, and a controlled lane on Stadium Road near Remembrance. Drive, affecting HMCS York, Coronation Park, and Ontario Place.
