Tristan Woodfine and Branna MacDougall win TCS Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon
While the marathon distance took centre stage, runners clocked some speedy half marathon times
Ontario native Tristan Woodfine took the win on Sunday at the TCS Waterfront Half Marathon, running 62:43. Woodfine was followed by former NCAA 1,500m runner from Toronto Matthew Viveiros, 27, who ran a PB of 64:57, and Marc-Antoine Senneville of Trois-Rivières, Que., in 65:11.
Woodfine, who recently made a coaching change to work with Canadian Olympian and former 50K record holder Reid Coolsaet, has been on fire this season. He ran a 5K PB in 14:21 at the Medavie Moncton 5K Canadian championships in September, and a 10K PB of 29:33 at the Vancouver Sun Run in April.
Branna MacDougall ran 1:13:35 to take the win in the women’s race. MacDougall is a rising Canadian star at only 24. Earlier this season, she ran a five-minute personal best of 2:28:36 at the 2022 Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth, Minn. MacDougall was followed by Montreal’s Caroline Pomerleau in 1:14:20, and Kingston, Ont.’s Michelle Krezonoski in 1:15:04.
