On a brisk Sunday morning, the Toronto Waterfront Marathon and Half Marathon kicked off in Canada’s largest city. The mostly flat courses run through the city’s downtown and along the waterfront of Lake Ontario.
Canadians swept the half marathon: Dylan Alick won the men’s race in 1:03:49, and Teagan Robertson was first on the women’s side, running 1:13:58.
In the marathon, Kenyans took the top spots. Leah Jeruto ran 2:21:19 for the women’s win, and Leonard Langat defended his title in 2:06:51.
