Road closures in effect for Sunday’s Sporting Life 10K

TORONTO, Ont. – The Sporting Life 10K is set for Sunday, which means we’ll have some road closures in the city to deal with.

This year, for the first time, all proceeds from the race will benefit Camp Oochigeas, for children with cancer.

The race, which is called the “easiest and fastest” in Canada, goes right down Yonge Street beginning at 8 a.m. Around 25,000 runners are expected to participate.
