Calgary’s Trevor Hofbauer and Vancouver’s Dayna Pidhoresky will represent Canada in the marathon at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

TORONTO — Calgary’s Trevor Hofbauer and Vancouver’s Dayna Pidhoresky are Tokyo bound.

"I’m just happy I didn’t screw it up," Hofbauer said. "I was giving high-fives down the finish line, so for anybody who has been bashing me for that, I left it out there today so you can’t take that away from me."When Hofbauer collected his thoughts after crossing the finish line, he first looked around for his father. Alex Hofbauer wasn’t hard to find as he was yelling from the top of his lungs that his son was the Canadian champion.

"I was starting to feel rough at 35 kilometres," she said. "But I just told myself I have to make it to the line as the first Canadian." Kenya’s Philemon Rono won his third Toronto Waterfront Marathon in a course-record time of 2:05:00. He trailed Lemi Berhanu of Ethiopia for much of the back-half of the 42.195-kilometre race before overtaking him in the final 700 metres.
