Trevor Hofbauer captured his third Canadian marathon title on Sunday, while Malindi Elmore won the women's crown at the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon.

The big winner Sunday was race director Alan Brookes and his staff, as it was the first time the race has been held live in three years, due to COVID-19. “But yeah, this was the first marathon I ever wanted to do.” Some 22,000 runners _ including a marathoner carrying an ironing board in an effort to break a Guinness World Record _ participated in the event, which included a 5K, half-marathon and marathon. Lee Wesselius of River Glade, N.B., a large-animal veterinarian, was ninth overall and the third Canadian (2:16:51). Antonina Kwambai of Kenya was the overall women’s winner (2:23:20). He also won the Toronto race in 2017 and ’19, where he set his personal best of 2:09:51.

Trevor Hofbauer (2:11:00) and Malindi Elmore (2:25:14) won the Athletics Canada national titles in 4th and 5th place.

“I heard my name so many times,” said the 42 year-old Elmore, who was able to run most of the way with a pack of men. By 30-K she was in fourth place, and in the 32nd kilometer she passed Burka and assumed the lead. She was on pace for a 2:21:33 finish which would mean a CAD 15,000 bonus in addition to the first place CAD 25,000 prize money. She caught Masai before the 40-K mark, got behind the male pacemaker, and scooted to victory in 2:23:20, a 60-second personal best. Although she slowed in the second half, Elmore moved up from seventh place at half (1:11:39) to fourth at the finish. “I am very very happy,” Adane said in his post-race broadcast interview with the help of a translator. “I wasn’t too worried because there was wind and the roadway was not easy,” Adane said. Masai fell even farther back by 25-K where she trailed the leaders by 20 seconds and appeared to be out of the race. Defending champion and course record holder Magdalyne Masai got into distress in the first half of the race, and was 12 seconds behind the lead pack at halfway (1:10:01). Wearing a white top, black shorts and a black watch cap to fight off the morning chill, the 35 year-old Kenyan put in a mighty surge. But in the second half, the pace slowed further and the athletes’ competitive instincts took over. The pace was still ambitious: they were on pace for a sub-2:04 finish time.
