The 60th edition of the Servus Calgary Marathon was held on Sunday morning with 13,600 runners crossing the finish line.
At 69 years old, Teresa Campiou is new to competing in half marathons but growing up in the Drift Pile Cree Nation and a member of the Woodland Cree First Nation located on Treaty 8 territory. She started a running group in Edmonton after noticing a lack of diversity in the running community. The Edmonton lawyer and ultramarathon runner says she inherited her love of running from her father who used to run to the next town to visit her mother.
