__/ MRN ON THE ROAD, TORONTO The Toronto Marathon celebrated its 10th anniversary on a windy, wet Sunday with a new women's course record, an international field of nearly 10,000 runners representing 33 countries, and full television broadcast coverage by the CBC. The broadcast will a i r Saturday, October 23 at 2:00 pm EST and repeat early Sunday, October 24 at 12:30 EST . (Check local listings to verify thesse times.) Race founder Ja y Glassman designed a course that showcases Toronto's vibrant neighborhoods, beautiful pa rks at the hei ght of Fall color, and the bustling d iversity of Yonge Street-- the world's longest stre et.

We enjoyed our stay at the Novotel right on the start line in North Y ork. Resta urants, movies and shopping were just steps away in the gleaming Empress Walk a nd North York City Centre complexes. We found cruising around t he city via subway s o easy that we didn't use the car for three days.
