TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon
celebrates its 35th anniversary this year - only 15 years shy of
The 519, Canada's largest LGBTQAI+ community centre, which is about
to celebrate its 50th anniversary! On this week's edition of the AO
Running Podcast, we meet Tom Spence, the Vice-Chair on the Board of
Directors for the 519, who will be running his first half marathon
at this weekend's TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon, after using
running to find his community when he was new to the city. He even
proposed to his husband at the end of the 2017 Pride Remembrance
Run! He will be running to support the 519 through the TCS Charity
Challenge. Making safe spaces throughout the city is the 519's
goal, and carving their way through the running community is no
different.
