Sanjay Mohanta from Ottawa, ON (5/24/2016) "82nd Marathon! Add this to your calendar!" (about: 2016) 50+ previous marathons \| 2 Whitby International North Marathons COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 1 I did this race last year and was surprised at how pretty the course was. The race is small and Whitby is a suburb East of Toronto. The race entry is cheap, $30 if you enter by August and includes a Pasta Dinner. The kit itself contains a tooth brush! The volunteers did a good job but I prefer KM marker signs versus the markings on the road. The pathways are narrow at some points but the course is pretty. I would recommend this to newbies and others who want to do a nice pleasant low key race. I wish there was a place to shower afterwards nearby but those are small points.
Ric Kong from Markham, ON (5/28/2013) "Hidden Jewel of a race!" (about: 2013) 11-50 previous marathons \| 1 Whitby International North Marathon COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 This was my fist time running W-I-N and loveed it! Mainly because I ran a personal best and beat my Boston qualifying time handily by almost 6 minutes. For some reason this race seemed easier and shorted than the other 14 marathons I have run. Maybe becuase it was my first double loop course so I knew what to expact the second time around. Or, it was the secenic run through the marsh, wodden bridges, trails and the great view of Lake Ontario. This was a great break from the crowded races with K markers and clocks for you to worry about. I actually ran without a watch or GPS and was very surprised with my race time. This my new favourite race!
P. A. from South Western Ontario, Canada (6/1/2012) "Not PB course but great for training for goal race" (about: 2012) 11-50 previous marathons \| 1 Whitby International North Marathon COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 3 Let's be clear: this is a course well suited as a component in one's training for a goal marathon later in the season. It covers asphalt, dirt, boardwalk, gravel, but very little concern over vehicle traffic. The kind of route one likes for a good, long training run with the added benefit of a very well staffed volunteer base and adequate refreshment stations. I was also impressed to see numerous medical personnel cycling the course. Amazing and distracting views of not only wetlands, marshlands, grassy fields,but also Lake Ontario. One shared the Waterfront Trail with cyclists, walkers and fitness runners. True, there were not many running the 'full' - most did the 13.1m or 10km - so it did get rather lonely during the last 13.1m Spectators could not seem to find their way to where and when the few marathoners would show up along the course. So, cheerful volunteers along the well marked course was appreciated. Post race goody bag was well prepared and received. Spectators had a great gathering place to await the arrival of runners. Yes this marathon has the 'bones', structure and volunteer support to grow. Will they opt for a city streets course? I for one hope not - there are enough of them out there. Sometimes it is enough to just lace up and head for the roads less travelled and breathe the fresh air (except when running past the sewage / pollution treatment plant)! I whole heartedly recommend this marathon and appreciate the attention to detail the race director and team have given. I recommend this for not only first timers but also experienced marathoners who want to add an extra dimension to the periodized training program. It has been my experience that often when you try to 'use' a big city marathon as a 'training run' you get swept up in the hype and crowds and you end up racing ... and that really was not your original intent. This marathon lived up to and even surpassed my expectations. Well done!
J. P. from Whitby, ON (5/25/2011) "Nice small race" (about: 2011) 2 previous marathons \| 1 Whitby International North Marathon COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 2 I've run the race (half) both years now. It's a nice course, but a bit challenging - includes a short trail section and some short sharp hills. Fan support is sparse compared to big city marathons, but those who are out are enthusiastic. I live in Whitby so it's very convenient!
M. L. from Ottawa, ON (5/23/2011) "Very Scenic Interesting Race" (about: 2011) 11-50 previous marathons \| 1 Whitby International North Marathon COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 1 I absolutely loved this small race (less than 100 people)! It was so scenic with a nice mix of farm land, road ways, trails through fields, bike paths past the beautiful shore of Lake Ontario, rural roads in a subdivision of beautiful homes - the wide variety really helped me mentally! It was mainly flat with a few minor slopes - NOTHING major. They even had pacers!
M. C. from Whitby Ontario (5/22/2011) "Great small race" (about: 2011) 11-50 previous marathons COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 I ran the half marathon, but being from Whitby, I know the whole course, and it's beautiful, and relatively flat along the waterfront trail. Great organization, medal was nice, and post-race food was presented in a bag. It is a small event, so don't expect many spectators, but the ones who come out are very supportive. There is also a small trail section around the 10K mark of the course.
J. S. from Toronto (12/21/2010) "Pleasant Surprise for a 1st Marathon!" (about: 2010) 6-10 previous marathons COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 3 I was pleasantly surprised by the organization and professionalism displayed throughout the whole event. I am looking forward to the changes promised in 2011 and recommend to try this scenic race.
