Mississauga Marathon

History With a mandate of "A Run for Everyone," the Mississauga Marathon has a festival atmosphere where spectators, volunteers, runners and their families enjoy a day of fitness and entertainment. The event includes the Marathon, Petrillo Law Relay Challenge, Recharge with Milk Half Marathon, Valeant Pharmaceuticals 10K, 10K Student Relay, a community favourite, Starbucks Coffee Hazel 5K and the SUBWAY® Restaurants 2K Fun Run/Walk rounds out the weekend ensuring that there truly is an event for everyone. Route This point to point course is a fast net downhill. The course starts at Robert Speck Parkway and City Centre Drive (just beside the Wal-Mart in Square One Shopping Centre), and makes its way west across the Credit River to Mississauga Road and then travels south for a beautiful stretch past the University of Toronto's Mississauga Campus, Mississauga Golf and Country Club, and continues through some of Mississauga's most beautiful residential neighbourhoods, before winding along the scenic Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail, and back along the Lakeshore to the finish at Lakefront Promenade Park. Small inclines are found at 10 km and 24 km. The 'net' downhill aspect of this race still exists, however, with a 250' (or 80m) drop from start to finish.
