Meet the leadership leading by example for the 2026 TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon: Nino Amatangelo! 🏃‍♂️✨

Beyond being a dedicated runner, Nino is the Chair of the Board of Directors at Hand Up Toronto. As an experienced financial executive, he channels his background in strategy, operations, and growth into our mission to fight food insecurity across the city.

For Nino, running began as a personal pandemic hobby that boosted his physical and mental wellbeing. On , he is taking his commitment a step further by hitting the pavement to support our community's families.
"Sometimes a job loss or a health issue are enough to push people to the other side of the poverty line. That’s where Hand Up Toronto comes in."

At Hand Up Toronto, we believe equitable access to food is a basic human right. Nino’s simple message for anyone thinking about joining our marathon team or supporting our work is: "Do it! It’s a fantastic organization supporting a great cause!"

💼 Calling All Corporate Leaders & Sponsors:

Food insecurity affects people in every corner of our community, and getting through a difficult season shouldn’t mean going without the basics.

This fall, Hand Up From Hunger Toronto is bringing together runners, supporters and community members to help change that.

On October 18, our team will take part in the Toronto Waterfront Marathon, Half Marathon and 5K, raising funds that will help local families access fresh food, pantry staples and essential items.

Our fundraising target is $20,000 — and we’re inviting our community to help us get there.

Because when we come together, a race can become something much bigger than race day.

Help us turn a personal challenge into a community impact.
