The largest marathon in the world – the New York City Marathon – featured almost 1,000 Canadians on Sunday.

Alberta’s Karl Augsten was the top Canadian running 2:31:51 for 44th place overall among men. Augsten is an accomplished ultrarunner and was coming off a win at the Grizzly 50K in Canmore, Alta. in October. He won two other ultras in 2017, according to his race profile on Ultra Run Signup.

The top-three Canadian women came in just over three hours, all within three minutes of each other. Shalaleh Tarbiat was the top Canadian, according to the top-100 overall women results posted by the NYRR. According to her All Athletics profile, her time of 3:01:24 is a PB.

According to the New York Road Runners (NYRR), there were 867 Canadian entrants to the New York City Marathon. Two of them broke the top-100 including Augsten, who was sporting Canada split shorts for the race, and Toronto’s Ross Bain.
