TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon | Run for TCM 2026


Toronto Waterfront Marathon | Run for TCM 2026

Help us raise $13,000 to support children impacted by poverty!

We will reimburse your registration fee when you reach a set fundraising amount!


Run for TCM is more than a race— it is a movement

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned runner, a marathon is the moment when months of training and perseverance finally bear fruit. It is the small personal victories, like beating your own records, that empower you to keep running, aim higher, and ultimately cross the finish line. At TCM, we hope to bring this momentum and empowerment to the lives of children and youth impacted by poverty. 


ways to make an impact

Where your impact goes

TCM serves three communities in Toronto— Don Valley Village, Jesse Ketchum, and Orton Park, by providing preventive programs, Kids in Community (KIC), Youth Extreme and Education Provided in Community (EPIC) free of charge. These programs offer after-school activities, free tutoring, and mentoring from positive role models to equip children and youth with essential life skills, supporting them academically and socially.

This year, our goal is to raise $13,000 so 37 children impacted by poverty can attend our preventive programs for free.

With $350, you can help sustain our after-school programs and tutoring programs!
