It's finally here, are you ready?
It's going to be a fun weekend!
The weather at the beach differs from elsewhere in the city, be prepared for cooler mornings by bringing extra layers in case they're needed.
We have changerooms, storage cubbies, washrooms and a water cooler onsite and will offer bananas and granola bars to all racers when you check in.

- Medium Course - 5-7 km course
- Short Course - for beginners, SUP kids (12 and under), and LTW participants in the Stay Hooked windsurf program.
The route for the 14.4 km course around Toronto Island can be viewed by clicking here. Racers must keep away from the buoys near the island airport, you may be prosecuted and subject to a hefty fine if you enter the "Keep Out Zone" marked by these buoys. The direction of the course will be determined by the wind direction on race day.
The route for all other races will be determined on the morning of the races depending on wind and weather conditions.
Participants can change courses on the day of the event to ensure everyone's comfort and safety.
