Philadelphia Marathon champ Leslie Sexton on the value of range and running with passion

This week we chat with Leslie Sexton, coming off her win, PB and course record at the Philadelphia Marathon. Leslie has enjoyed a successful career on the track, cross-country courses, and roads. She was a standout at Queen’s University, and went on to win the Canadian Marathon Championships in 2017. But one major goal eludes the 34-year-old: representing Canada at a World Championship or Olympic Games.
