TORONTO, Jan. 1, 2012 /CNW/ - Runners…Mascots…Superheros…the MyNextRace.com Midnite Run Toronto takes off "Running" into 2012 in Liberty Village, downtown Toronto. Inspired by New York City's longstanding Central Park Run, MyNextRace.com leads the way with Toronto's most talked about new run.
"We're thrilled to bring something innovative, unique and FUN to the running and fitness marketplace that has attracted participants from all over Ontario" says founder and Race Director Peter Donato, a 5-time Boston Marathoner and owner of MyNextRace.com. Presented by First Capital Real Estate, the Midnite Run and Party brings together all ages and fitness levels for a mostly fun, festive and different New Year's Eve experience. Plans are underway to both grow the Toronto edition and expand nationally in 2012 and beyond.
Leading the way among the crowd of 500 runners is Canada's Olympic Marathon Hopeful Reid Coolsaet, expected to easily cross the finish line first and then jump on a plane 24hrs later headed for high altitude training in Kenya. Runners and Partiers enjoy a pre and post-run "party" with music and dancing sponsored by SteamWhistle Brewery, with proceeds supporting the local Fort York Food Bank.
