Canadian 5km Championships takes hiatus for 2019

The Canadian 5km Championships will take a pause for 2019 after successfully being hosted in Toronto as part of the Bang & Olufsen YorkvilleRun for the last four years.

The event is one of Athletics Canada’s four road racing championships, along with the 10km, Half Marathon and Marathon, and is typically held in the fall. Depending on the international calendar, the championships may also be used as a selection trials for national teams at the discretion of the national team committee.

Athletics Canada would like to thank organizers of the B&O YorkvilleRun for hosting the inaugural to fourth editions of the event. “I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Jordan Korenzvit, and the entire YorkvilleRun team, they have been huge supporters of our athletes,” said Mathieu Gentès, Athletics Canada’s Chief Operating Officer. “Megan Brown was also an important factor in creating the Canadian 5km Championships and ensuring that the athletes had everything in place to compete at their very best in a fun and engaging atmosphere. We wish the YorkvilleRun team the best of luck with the 2019 edition of their event.”

Athletics Canada is actively seeking suitors to host the event in 2020. Interested parties should communicate with Gentès via email at mgentes@athletics.ca.
