The Waterfront Marathon weekend has been a staple in the Toronto running scene for three decades, and that’s something to celebrate.
This year’s event will feature the Canadian Olympic marathon trials, which will draw a huge pool of Canadian elites to vie for a position on team Canada. One of those runners will be 2019 Canadian Marathon Champion Cam Levins, who hopes to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics and lower his own Canadian record.
