Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Honours Matthew House
The 22nd annual Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon (STWM), Half-Marathon and 5km Run/Walk will take place in Toronto Tomorrow Sunday, October 16, 2011 at 9:00 a.m.
Matthew House was honoured this year to be chosen as one of the Featured Charities in The Charity Challenge.
The Scotiabank's Toronto Waterfront Marathon (STWM) is one of only five recognized by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). For the fourth consecutive year, the STWM has been awarded a prestigious Silver Label by the IAAF.
In 2010, the STWM was ranked as 6th fastest marathon in the world, 3rd fastest women's race in the world and holds the record for both the fastest men's and women's marathons on Canadian soil (2:07:58 run last year by Kenneth Mungara & 2:22:43 by Sharon Cherop). The Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon attracts participants from over 50 countries and this year's goal is to raise more than $3 million for 164 charities.
This year all 6 of my grandchildren will join me in lacing up our sneakers to take part in this fun and worthwhile event. As much as I'll enjoy the walk itself, the real reason I look forward to it is the opportunity to raise support for an organization that I'm passionate about -- Matthew House .
The Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon includes a 5km, half-marathon (21.1km), and full marathon (42.2km) run. For more information please visit www.stwm.ca.
