I have been honked, almost got run over a few times while running and biking. Oh, actually got hit once by a car while biking straight on green light!<br /><br />Moving Toronto Marathon to May seems funny to me, I guess they forgot that Sporting Life 10k is also in May? I am sure those moron drivers would love the idea of closing down Yonge street twice in a month! LOL<br /><br />Unfortunately Toronto not only have to compete with Mississauga, Ottawa, London and now Whitby has a full Marathon in May too.runwufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00375917336040100194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831613295895512847.post-58170705028282832462010-02-24T16:09:01.065-08:002010-02-24T16:09:01.065-08:00I agree that it is all about the community support...I agree that it is all about the community support that makes a marathon a marquee event like NYC or Chicago.

This a pointless exercise in redundancy. Now people will complain about the Sporting life 10k and the Toronto Marathon both closing down Yonge St. in the same month.<br /><br />This idea of world class is the same BS that gets us to build pointless stadiums, buildings and host 'major' corporate events to justify ourselves to the world as important. This city will never be world class until all the wanna be "world class" and "internationally important" morons are out of this city.Boris Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12109794946605173132noreply@blogger.com
