  • 10K Race Five Canadian Male Elite Athletes Finish in Top 10
    Ethiopians win top spots in 10K race Five Canadian male elite athletes finish in top 10 May 28, 2011, OTTAWA – Unpredictable weather conditions today stayed favourable for the nearly 10,000 runners participating in the Ottawa Race Weekend 10K race at 6:30 p.m. Ethiopians again took top spots in both the men’s and women’s races. Deriba Merga improved his third place finish in 2010 to finish first with 28:30. Dire Tune crossed at 31:43, her second consecutive Ottawa 10K win and about 30 seconds faster than 2010. It is also her second time finishing ahead of her male counterpart – women elite athletes started 3 minutes and 55 seconds ahead of the men. For her efforts she’ll take home $6,000 US for being lead women, and an additional $4,000 for being first to cross the finish line. “We were delighted to see two familiar faces returning to Ottawa to win the 10K event this year”, said Manny Rodrigues, Elite Athlete Coordinator. “Humid conditions may have prevented some old records to fall, but it remained dry throughout the race.” Canadian male elite athletes performed strongly, with five finishing in the top 10. First to finish was Eric Gillis of Guelph, Ontario who placed fourth overall again this year with a time of 29:15. Tarah McKay-Korir, of St. Clements, Ontario, came in eighth overall with 34:36 to take the top spot among Canadian women – a significant finish considering she is the mother of an eighth- month-old baby. There were eight women among the top 20 finishers.

  • Esselink and Linkletter
    Linkletter and Esselink Chasing Canadian Olympic Berth by Paul Gains Lured by the magic of a potential Olympic berth Canada’s top distance runners are lining up to compete in the 2019 Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon, October 20th. Canadian record holder Cam Levins (2:09:25) along with fellow Olympians Dylan Wykes and Reid Coolsaet have already announced their entries in this IAAF Gold Label race but behind them is a young talented pair hoping to supplant them at the top. Twenty-three-year-old Rory Linkletter is boldly challenging the distance as well as the running establishment. He is joined by Evan Esselink, 27, who turned heads with a stunning performance at the Houston Half Marathon finishing in 62:17. That is the fourth fastest time ever run by a Canadian - faster than Coolsaet and Wykes have ever run and just two seconds slower than Levins’ best. “I chose to do Toronto and move up to the marathon because the chances of me making the Olympic team are much better in the marathon,” Esselink declares with confidence. “I ran the Houston Half Marathon and ran well there. Now, just knowing I am trying to run a certain time in the marathon, going through (halfway) three or four minutes slower (than 62:17) in the marathon, it won’t be too hard to do that. At least it will give me the confidence I can do that.” A year ago, the native of Courtice, Ontario (just east of Oshawa) approached the head coach of the BC Endurance Project, Richard Lee, about a move out west.

  • 'Three Amigos', Coolsaet, Wykes & Watson Return to Scotiabank
    ‘Three Amigos’, Coolsaet, Wykes & Watson Return to Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon by Paul Gains Three very familiar faces will be among the outstanding Canadian entries for the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon October 20th, all lured by the Athletics Canada National Championship which runs concurrently in this IAAF Gold Label race. Moreover, this year’s event also serves as Canada’s Olympic trials with the ‘first past the post' earning an automatic spot on the team bound for Tokyo provided he or she has achieved the Olympic standard (2:11:30/2:29:30). Two-time Olympian Reid Coolsaet will seek a third berth, Dylan Wykes a second and Rob Watson, a three- time World Championships performer, relishes the challenge of earning another podium finish. The ‘three amigos’ between them have won twenty-one national titles. Coolsaet turned 40 on July 29th and acknowledges his best days are behind him - he is Canada’s third fastest marathoner of all time with a 2:10:28 personal record - but believes he has the experience to make the team for Tokyo. “Yeah, it is my goal, I am totally focused on making the Olympics,” said Coolsaet, who has run under 2:11:30 six times in his career. “It’s definitely my main motivation for training as hard as I do in the marathon. “If it wasn’t for the 2020 Olympics, knowing I am not really looking for a PB anymore, I think I would have moved to the trails last year. I am happy to train this hard knowing the reward would mean a lot to me.” With Cam Levins (2:09:25) also returning to the site of his dramatic Canadian record-breaking performance, Coolsaet realises that something would have to go seriously wrong for Levins to miss the automatic place.

For the last few years, the most common question for our Committee after race weekend has been, “How are you going to top this year’s event?” In the wake of a 2012 weekend that included nationally televised U.S. Olympic Trials Marathons for both men and women, as well as our annual slate of races where the winners broke the tapes with four record-breaking performances, that question has never been more common or more relevant.
