THE BEATBIKE will be a marvel of sustainable dance experiences. We are hundreds on funkified bikes following a mad max mobile club with DJ's, drummers, dancers and visuals stopping a few times at select "never been danced in-on" locations to groove next to your peeps in the summer sunshine.

We will meet at 11:30AM for the first stop and be leaving 30-45 minutes later.

Terry Fox Run at Upper Canada College
This year is the 30th anniversary of Terry’s Marathon of Hope. Our efforts and the efforts of researchers have been rewarded. The Canadian Cancer Society reports that 62% of people diagnosed with cancer survive their disease. In the 1960’s, the survival rate was 1 in 3.
Our event is a“fun” walk, ride, skate and run event. In fact we believe the Upper Canada College run route is the most bike and skate friendly in Toronto. We look forward to you, your family and friends joining us for the “run”, picnic, kids play area and live music. Here is our agenda:
