How to watch
If there’s one thing Canada Running Series prides itself on with the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon, it’s the accessible livestream.

The easiest way to watch from Canada is on the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon app, the official race website or CBCSports.ca. The stream will begin at 7:00 a.m. ET.
