Toronto Waterfront Marathon: Kenya's Langat defends title in 2:06:51; Canada's Davies ninth in debut
Leah Jeruto won the women's race in a personal-best 2:21:19; Windsor's Dayna Pidhoresky took the Canadian women's title in 2:26:08. The race doubled as Athletics Canada's national marathon championships.
Why it matters
Kenya's Leonard Langat defended his title Sunday at the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon, winning the men's race in 2 hours 6 minutes 51 seconds to claim the CAD$25,000 prize. The race was a World Athletics Elite Label event and also served as Athletics Canada's national marathon championships.
Kenya also swept the women's race: Leah Jeruto ran a massive personal best of 2:21:19 to win — three minutes faster than her 2:24:31 at this year's Cape Town Marathon in May — ahead of Ethiopians Nigsti Haftu (2:21:34) and Ayinadis Teshome (2:22:51).
