Bergeron also joggled during last year’s Boston Marathon, finishing in 3:13. In a Global News report after the race, he claims he did not drop a ball until 15K into the race, and dropped only four balls in total. (He also proposed to his girlfriend during the race. She said yes.) Bergeron runs with the Halifax Road Hammers.
