Summary
The Manitoba Marathon delivered a record-breaking 48th edition with over 14,000 runners, perfect weather, and electric energy. Nageso Nyafaro Tuse, training for the 2028 LA Refugee Olympic team, claimed the men’s title with a blistering 2:18:50, while Janine Zajac made it two straight wins for women, smashing her own record by six minutes in 2:52:49. Both champions showed grit—Tuse even needed medical attention post-race but showed up for the awards, and Zajac, a running family legacy, bounced back from a tough Boston. Across distances, Simon Berubé and Sasha Gollish topped the half-marathons, and even 89-year-olds George Steciuk and Art Chow finished the 10K, proving age is just a number. It was more than a race—it was a community celebration of perseverance, joy, and movement. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
