Top Canadian results from the 2017 Boston Marathon

Thousands of Canadians were on course for Monday’s Boston Marathon.

Jacob Puzey and Rachel Hannah led the Canadian contingent both finishing in the top-40. Hannah, the 2015 Pan Am Games bronze medallist, had high hopes of setting a personal best (2:32:09) in her first Boston Marathon before finishing in 2:41:22. Shelley Doucet began in corral two while Christy Lovig was in the elite women’s corral in Boston. Doucet, according to Athletics New Brunswick, set a new provincial record running 2:46:29 (chip time: 2:45:46) for 29th overall. Lovig also broke three hours by a large margin clocking 2:53:41.

Puzey meanwhile is the 50-mile treadmill world record holder. The Calgary resident ran 2:26:57 and was the top Canadian according to runners who listed their citizenship as Canadian on the Boston Athletic Association’s results page. Rejean Chiasson, who ran 2:17:47 in his debut marathon back in 2011, finished in 2:32:04 and John Parrott was 83rd among men in 2:34:30. (It should be noted that although Puzey lists his country as Canada in the B.A.A. system, he is not officially a Canadian citizen.)
