The Toronto Marathon
Returns
By
Ben Kaplan - February 16, 2022
Since 1977, the Toronto Marathon
has been synonymous with good times and fast times, one
of Canada’s best big city races. Drawing participants
from around the world, and running icons like Kathrine
Switzer, the Toronto Marathon on May 1, will be Canada’s
first large-scale in-person event since the start of the
pandemic.
The pent-up demand has race
director Jay Glassman and his team excited to be among
the first large-scale events to welcome runners back after
a two year absence.
“The city has changed
over the course of the COVID pandemic, but running has
only increased as has the desire of Canadian runners for
a big in-person event to compete in,” says Glassman,
who has been race director of the Toronto Marathon since
1995. “It’s a return to running, a return
to racing, and I can say that our entire team is looking
forward to welcoming runners back.”
A distance for every ability, the Toronto Marathon offers
a fast Boston-qualifying marathon, half marathon, 5 and
10K events. The multiple distances are all offered on
a single day, May1, and the event is fun and imbued with
positive feelings as runners make their way through the
many neighbourhoods of Toronto to the finish line at the
Exhibition Grounds. With robust cheering from the thousands
of spectators lining the point-to-point course and more
than 1,200 enthusiastic volunteers, the Toronto Marathon
is where this author, in fact, scored his lifetime PB,
finally breaking three hours in 2016. Indeed, the Toronto
Marathon is poised to become the running world’s
Coachella—a once in a lifetime running event that’s
guaranteed to bring runners together from far and wide.
“We know, given everything
that we’ve all been through over that past two years,
that runners are looking forward participating in a ‘live
event’ with other competitors in a race that draws
people from over 60 countries,” says Glassman, adding
that, for many new racers who picked up running during
the pandemic, his event will be their first taste of the
best part of our sport. “It’s an exciting
time to be a race director. It’s an exciting time
to welcome people back to our sport.”

“LU’s Zongo breaks another school record,
qualifies for U Sports Nationals”
Laurentian’s Indoor
Track and Field team returned to action this past weekend,
attending competitions at the University of Toronto
and the University of Guelph. Despite having their competitive
season delayed again by the pandemic, the team had a
solid weekend, returning with a new school record, three
silver medals and eight new personal bests.
The team was once again led by third-year Law and Justice
student, Marvin Zongo (Burkina Faso). At the Guelph
Open, Zongo broke the school’s triple jump record
with a mark of 14.69 metres on his sixth and final attempt.
This result eclipsed the previous school record of 14.57
metres, set by Ian Janssen in 1996. The performance
earned Zongo a silver medal and also qualified him for
the U Sports national championship to be held in St.
John, New Brunswick at the end of March. Zongo is currently
ranked third in the nation in the triple jump and fourth
in the long jump.
Also at the Guelph Open, Tristan Routhier (Saint-Sixte,
Quebec) earned Laurentian’s second silver medal
on the weekend by running 7.33 seconds in the Men’s
60 metre final. Alexandre Noel de Tilly also qualified
for the final, placing 4th in 7.36 seconds.
At the Hal Brown Memorial Meet at the University of
Toronto, Justin Graenert (Newmarket, ON) also won silver
in the 600 metres with a time of 1:27.07.
The women’s team had several strong performances
at the Hal Brown meet as well, as they returned to action
for the first time since November. Sarah Booth placed
7th in the 1,000 metres (3:08.15); Angela Mozzon placed
9th in the 1,500 metres (5:19.82); and Kristen Mrozewski
placed 11th in the 600 metres (1:42.79).
Head Coach, Darren Jermyn commented, “I’m
very proud of the resilience out entire team has shown
over the past two months. They had to shift their focus
in December and January to training mostly outdoors
or independently in home gyms or treadmills. Thankfully,
we had three excellent weeks of practice as a team on
our home indoor track prior to this return to competition.
Seeing eight new personal bests across all event areas
is definitely a good sign.”
The Indoor Track and Field Team will return to action
this weekend attending meets at York University and
the University of Toronto.
