Race Against Time - Fall 2026
Race Against Time is an in-person running event organized by Dupont Run Club at Christie Pits Park in Toronto on November 15, 2026. The format consists of repeated one mile loops run together, with a fixed time limit for each loop that shortens as the event progresses.
Each loop must be completed within the allotted time to continue; missing the cutoff results in elimination. Early loops have longer limits, and by the sixth loop the time limit is ten minutes, which corresponds to about a 6:12 per kilometre pace. After the sixth loop the time allowance decreases by 30 seconds per loop until loop 13, then by 15 seconds per loop thereafter. Completing 12 loops covers almost 20 kilometres.
The event is described by the organizer as a fun way to test limits. Registration is free and space is limited. Participants may leave jackets and bags with the organizers during the event. The event is scheduled to last two hours and thirty minutes. A prize for the winner is planned but details are to be determined. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
