Winter in Toronto has a way of stripping the excitement out of life. The days are short, the conditions are frigid, and oftentimes I lack motivation to step outside to go shopping, let alone go for a jog. But, when I heard that the Chipotle x Strava City Challenge running event was headed to Toronto this past January, my motivation to get outdoors spiked. I got my running shoes out. I was prepared to suffer.

British ultrarunner William Goodge is chasing his most ambitious feat yet—a transcontinental speed record for the fastest run across Australia, from Perth to Sydney. Covering 3,800 km (the equivalent of 90 marathons) in just 35 days, Goodge hopes to surpass the 2023 record set by Australian Chris Turnbull. Goodge is no stranger to transcontinental challenges.

When Tracksmith unveiled the 2025 Twilight 5000 tour, a series of community-paced 5K races across Canada and the U.S., there was an immediate issue with the Toronto date. The race was scheduled for June 28—the same day as the city’s Pride and Remembrance Run, a long-standing event in Toronto’s running community.

There were common questions: How do I get into the city from the airport?

What does one do after running a marathon personal best? For one British runner, Matt Clayton, the answer was simple: walk to another country and run an even faster one. Clayton, from Rustington, U.K., ran a personal best of 3:51:29 at the Brighton Marathon on April 6. But instead of kicking back to put his feet up afterward, he packed his bags and began walking to the next start line.

Continuing an athletics career spanning more than two decades, 48-year-old Kenyan marathoner Mark Kiptoo is still running some of the best times of his career. On Sunday at the 2025 Zürich Marathon in Switzerland, Kiptoo took his third consecutive victory, clocking 2:09:16—a shocking time for a runner often considered past his prime. This was Kiptoo’s third straight win at the Zürich Marathon, having also won the race in 2023 and 2024.
