Not exactly the most ideal of weather days for Mother's day, but it should be perfect for a run.
The annual Sporting Life 10k Run gets underway at 7:30 Sunday morning before wrapping up at Coronation Park at 12:30 p.m.
An estimated 21,000 runners will participate in the run that helps raise funds for Camp Oooch for children with cancer.
The race has been a Toronto staple since 2000 and for race organizer Corey Freedman, speaking to our media partner CP24, the event is a win win.
"We are all here to raise money for kids who are living with cancer, trying to send them to camp and we get to showcase the city of Toronto."
