An online petition, calling for Toronto to deal with large running clubs, has more than 500 signatures.

 

A number of TikTok videos and comments accuse some of the groups of dangerous behaviour.

With some residents saying running clubs treat the sidewalks like their “personal treadmills”.

The petition is asking for size limits to be imposed on running clubs, or for the city to designate specific lanes for them to use.

The founder of the midtown Toronto Running Club says most groups already follow an “unofficial” code of conduct.
