The race starts at University Avenue & Queen Street, near City Hall. From there, runners go south and east for two miles towards Lake Ontario and onto Lakeshore Boulevard. Then everyone west in the direction of the twelve kilometre mark, where the route turns and leads back eastward back along Lakeshore to Stadium Road. From there the race follows onto to Queens Quay, east to Parliament & Lakeshore Boulevard and Lakeshore and south to Cherry Street.

Next, the route turns east and north into Lakeshore. Then everyone heads east via Coxwell towards Queen Street, turning around at Neville Park.
