Unsanctioned racing is gaining popularity in Canada, with many runners seeing it as a fun and easy alternative to big road races. Parkdale Roadrunners wrote in Take the Bridge Journal about unsanctioned racing, “It’s still relatively new to the city with more races popping up every year. The Black Lungs hold their annual Ekiden race on the longest day of the year. Unsanctioned races really bring out a great mix of really fast runners as well as local crews and clubs ready to experience something new.”
