As many of you have heard, the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon has become a staple annual event at Across U-hub.

In the past three years, we successfully raised over $60,000 to provide opportunities for East Asian youth to develop leadership qualities, build their confidence and pursue their dreams. Across U-hub’s participants become encouraged and strengthened by each other’s determination and resiliency during their 5-month marathon training.
