Tomorrow is race day! Here is the course map and directions for the half marathon course (21K). We start at 7:00am and Richard estimates his half marathon finishing time to be about 2:30 - Hardish and I expect to finish within 3:15 (so we should be crossing the finish line at 9:30am and 10:15am respectively). We have to meet our fellow JeansMarines at 6:00am near their offices across from Roy Thomson Hall and we'll head over to the start at Metro Hall together. Then after 3 hours we'll get our finishers medals and find breakfast somewhere.
We'll have to miss tonight's Nuit Blanche - Toronto's annual all-night arts party - but the plus is we may be able to take the subway to the race as it's supposed to be running all night long (normally the subway closes at 2:00am Saturday and doesn't start running again until 9:00am Sunday).
You should be able to check my time using my bib number: 7959 on the Race Results page of the torontowaterfrontmarathon.com site.
