Peloton is sponsoring the 2026 TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon, with a pre-marathon mobility class and a shakeout run planned for race weekend. Greta Dopp will lead the mobility class, and Marcel Dinkins will lead the run.

Peloton shared a video on its official onepeloton account to promote the race. The clip closes with the message “See you soon, Toronto” and references race day cheers. Registration for these events has not been posted yet.

Peloton Joins the Toronto Waterfront Marathon Weekend

The 2026 TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon takes place Sunday, October 18, with a 5K the day before on Saturday, October 17. TCS is the title sponsor of the race, and the video places the Peloton logo beside the race’s logo.

Together, the mobility class, the run, and race day cheers give Peloton a presence across race weekend. The lineup covers two areas of Peloton programming, mat-based mobility and running.

Dopp is Peloton’s first Canadian instructor and grew up in Collingwood, Ontario, which gives a Toronto race weekend a home-country connection. Her Peloton classes include Yoga, Sculpt Flow, and Pilates, and the mobility class adds a mat-based session to a weekend otherwise centered on running.

Marcel Dinkins Leads the Shakeout Run

Peloton Tread instructor Marcel Dinkins will lead the run ahead of the race. The video includes footage of runners on a Toronto street with the CN Tower in view, set to the line “We about to run the six,” a reference to a common nickname for the city.

Dinkins has marathon weekend experience with Peloton. When Team Peloton attended the Shamrock Marathon weekend in Virginia Beach in March, the schedule included a meet and greet, a shakeout run, and a race day cheer zone. Dinkins has a history with that race as its designated hype person.

Toronto shares two pieces of that format, the run and race day cheers, and adds a mobility class led by Peloton’s first Canadian instructor. The next detail to watch is the schedule for the mobility class and run, which will show how members can take part in the Toronto Waterfront Marathon weekend.
