The North York Generals are back!

Welcome! Thank you for visiting our blog to help us kick off our training season for the 2014 Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon.

The North York Generals will be walking and running the 5K, half-marathon, and full marathon on October 19th to get active, have fun as a team, and most importantly, to raise funds in support of our Hospital and patients.

Throughout the next several months, we’ll be featuring stories and posts from North York General hospital staff, volunteers, patients, and our Running Champions. We hope that this blog will serve as an inspiration to those who are running with us in October – whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or attempting your first 5K run, we’ll be representing all levels of experience and activity!

If you prefer to walk the 5K or the half-marathon and cheer for our Champions, we welcome you to the team! The marathon course is fully accessible.
