The Toronto Waterfront 10K by the numbers

It was a scorcher of a morning in Toronto as a sold-out crowd took part in the Waterfront 10K.

There were a number of Olympians in the field including Natasha Wodak, Krista DuChene, Eric Gillis and Reid Coolsaet. Wodak prevailed in the women’s race while Daniel Wendimu won the men’s race. See more detailed results plus a link to all times below.

The Toronto Waterfront 10K was the third stop on the Canada Running Series circuit. Next week, CRS heads west for the Scotiabank Vancouver Half-Marathon. This year, Lululemon was the title sponsor and the Waterfront 10K sold out well in advance of race day. Among the race features, Lululemon offers runners free photographs from throughout the event as well as being the provider of the race shirts. Plus, there was also a doughnut stop in the finish line chute.

31:50.3

Coolsaet raced for the first time since December when he ran 2:10:55 at the Fukuoka Marathon. The second fastest marathoner in Canadian history has battled injury for much of 2017. Three-time Olympian Eric Gillis did not finish citing a sore quad. Gillis dropped out at 4K.

Hmm, racing a 10k when you're not in shape is pretty tough as well. #waterfront10 #comeback (31:50 for 8th)
