- Do not remove the "bibTag" or foam spacer from your bib
- Do not fold your bib or excessively bend or twist the "bibTag"
- Wear your bib on your front. Do not wear on your back, side, leg or arm
Remember, now it's "NO BIB = NO TIME!". To read more about the Mylaps BIBTAG technology and Sportstats, click here.

Public Transit - TTC INFO: There is very intermittent TTC service along Eglinton Ave. East early in the morning, so consider taking a cab with your friends to the start and then taking the TTC home. Visit www.ttc.ca for more info.
- Parking
Parking within Sunnybrook Park is very limited. Please keep in mind that everyone will have to park and walk to the start area. Give yourself at least 15-20 minutes to get into the park, to park and then to walk to the start area.
Note: The park is NOT closed to traffic so please pay attention to parking marshals and follow their directions to the appropriate lots. Do NOT park `illegally as you may receive a ticket. All roads and areas within the parking lots are subject to all City of Toronto parking by-laws.
Parking inside the park:
- Directly inside the park, north of the main entrance (150m from start/finish line)
- Past the washrooms (a 250m walk to start / finish line) in the Serena Gundy Parking lot
- Along park road (a 300m walk to start / finish line)
- In the middle lot (just a 400m walk to start / finish line)
- In the lot across from Sunnybrook Stables
- In the lot at the playing fields at the top of the hill
Parking outside the Park:
- There is some parking available on Eglinton Ave, west of Leslie St. This is about a 1.5k walk to the race site
- At Sunnybrook Hospital and then walk down the hill and head towards the start line but please give yourself lots of time, as it is about a 2.5k walk
- There is some parking available in surface lots on Eglinton Ave, west of Leslie St. This is about a 1.5k walk to the race site.
Riding your bike to the park is another great way to see all the action. We do ask that you give the runners "right of way" along the path when appropriate. Also, there is no coffee or food available at the race site for purchase. This means that you should plan appropriately. Tim Horton's and other retailers are about 3k from the start/ finish line on Eglinton Ave E. at Brentcliffe Ave, and on Don Mills Road, just south of the Science Centre.
