Anyone looking for a race in May, there’s The Art Keay Memorial Racewalks at Hanlan’s Point, Toronto Islands, on Sunday, May 29th. The course is totally flat and very fast—being on an Island, it is always cooler than the main land.

The 10 K Age-Graded, 5 K Non-championship, 3K and 20 K races are open to all. The 10 K Ontario Championship races are open to Athletics Ontario and provincial/state (FAQ, USATF) members. All 10 K and 20 K competitors who complete their races will be eligible for the 10 K Art Keay Memorial age-graded trophy.

Race application with more information attached.
