The TCS London Marathon always attracts a lot of Canadians, but this year’s race was a little different, with no Canadians in the elite field; Rory Linkletter pulled out in late March due to an injury flare-up, and Canadian marathon record holder Natasha Wodak, who had been slated to run, had to withdraw last week after dealing with an injury and then illness. Nonetheless, hundreds of Canadians showed up to race in the mass start; here are the Canadians with the fastest times and the highest rankings in their age categories.
