Our mission is ambitious: to one day produce an Olympic champion. Our coaches bring decades of competitive experience and coaching expertise to help aspiring distance runners reach their full potential.

Here’s what makes TWA unique:

  • Nurturing Passion: We instill a lifelong love for running in athletes of all ages.
  • Comprehensive Athlete Development: We prioritize holistic athlete growth with a dedicated focus on mental performance coaching, strength training, nutrition workshops, and a commitment to building camaraderie through social events. 
  • Training Excellence: Our training programs cater to all levels, from elementary to university athletes and Masters groups.
  • Exceptional Achievements: TWA athletes have achieved National Champion status, represented Canada internationally, and earned scholarships at top Canadian and American universities.

Our primary training location is Centennial Park, with indoor sessions at the Toronto Track & Field Center, York University, during track season (January – March).
