45 minutes before the Parade starts, runners and Christmas enthusiasts join together for the most festive 5K on record - The Holly Jolly Fun Run. Dress silly and get cheered on by hundreds of thousands of parade goers, finishing at Maple Leaf Square. Then find your family and enjoy the Parade! The Holly Jolly Fun Run Start Line is just west of Bathurst St. on Bloor St. between Manning Ave. and Euclid Ave. Then, head down the route ending at Maple Leaf Square! New in 2018 - every finisher will receive a Holly Jolly Fun Run Medal for running and celebrating with us!
