Lemi Berhanu Hayle Targets Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Record, by Paul Gains
Lemi Berhanu Hayle Targets Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Record, by Paul Gains Many are the athletes who target course records and victory in the weeks preceding a major marathon, but few can achieve this glory. Ethiopia’s Lemi Berhanu Hayle, however, has the fast times and experience to match his bravado. The 24-year-old - he turns 25 tomorrow, September 13 - has confirmed he will attack Philemon Rono’s Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon course record (2:06:52) on October 20th. With Rono also committed to this year’s event, plus last year’s champion Benson Kipruto, Lemi’s addition to the field sets up a compelling showdown for the CAN $30,000 first place prize and, if things go right, CAN $40,000 course record bonus. Lemi is held in such high regard by Ethiopian selectors that he was selected to his nation’s 2016 Olympic team (he finished 13th). Earlier that year he won the 2016 Boston Marathon. But it was his victory at the 2015 Dubai Marathon in 2:05:28 - the fourth fastest time in the world that year - which introduced him as a world-beating athlete. Though he was beaten during his Dubai title defence in 2017 he came away with a new personal best of 2:04:33, in second place. Against this backdrop a Toronto course record assault is more than viable. “My target is to have the course record time and of course to win the race,” he says adding he will ask the pacemakers to go through halfway in 1:03.
