Speedy Canadian running dads

Today, it’s the day for dads.

As the annual celebration honouring fathers and fatherhood falls on a Sunday, there will be thousands of runners participating in races across the country, the Manitoba Marathon, for example, to kick off Father’s Day. Here’s a quick rundown, and by no means an exhaustive list, of select Canadian dads who competed internationally or are well-known on the nation’s running scene.
