Important information regarding the Toronto Start Line:

NEW for 2025, there will be 4 corral start options where Riders will self-seed based on your known average riding speed or your preferred pace.
 
The corrals will be marked as:

• Corral 1 - Hammer & Experienced: for all Hammer Route Riders, and those looking to ride at a pace of 28+ km/hour
• Corral 2 - Breakaway: for those who wish to ride at a steady pace of anywhere between 24-28 km/hour
• Corral 3 - Peloton: for those who wish to ride at a comfortable pace of anywhere between 20-24 km/hour
• Corral 4 - Social: for those who wish to ride at a social or slower pace or Riders unsure of their average speed.

The corrals will be marked at the start area and there will be further instruction provided onsite. In addition, there will be team gathering areas at the Toronto Start where you can plan to meet your team at areas A to F, each marked by 12ft feather flags. We understand that many Riders will want to ride with their team and that there will be various paces and riding abilities across team members. We encourage you to select the corrals that best suits your personal pace and/or have your team defer to the slower riders in your group. You can plan to meet up with the rest of your team at one of the pit stop locations.

Departure Timeline
Each chute will depart one at a time in a rolling sequence. Here’s what to expect:

• Volunteers will open the chute when prompted by the “Ready, Set, Ride!” from the stage
• Once the Corral ahead has exited the gantry and a safe gap is established, the following Corral will move forward into the empty space.
• Late arrivals will be directed by volunteers to a designated area to join the final group when space opens.

Key Reminders

• Follow all volunteer and staff directions.
• Please do not pass the Toronto Police Escort Vehicle.
• Listen to the important safety announcements before departure.
• Staging is first-come, first-served within each chute. Chutes will be closed once full.
• All bikes must face West toward the start gantry once in place.
• Fill all available space in your chute to keep things flowing smoothly.
• Let's give every rider a safe and inspiring send-off!
