The Sporting Life 10K is an annual 10K running/walking event on Yonge Street in Toronto, that has taken place every May since 2003.[1] Money raised from the Sporting Life 10K goes towards funding Camp Oochigeas – a volunteer run summer camp to provide enriching experiences to victims of childhood cancer.[2][3]

27,000 people participated in 2013.[4] The event was rumored to be cancelled in 2018 due to concerns from the city about traffic congestion.
