麻豆精选鈥檚 own Olympian marathoner Malindi Elmore will be racing at the Boston Marathon this spring.

Elmore holds the Canadian marathon record with a blazing personal best of 2:24:50. She represented Canada in the marathon at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

Like a true sun-loving Okanagan local, Elmore trained for the heat of Tokyo by running outside in the midday 麻豆精选 blaze during the summer.

Runners in 麻豆精选 know that Elmore is fast. She is ranked first on all of the popular 鈥楽trava segments鈥 around the city, often breaking records in the middle of her easy runs.

Canada鈥檚 top female marathoner will be racing alongside Olympic gold medalist Jepchirchir of Kenya, Olympic bronze medalist Molly Seidel of the USA as well as past Boston Marathon champions Edna Kiplagat (2017) and Des Linden (2018).

The Boston Athletic Association announced the elite women鈥檚 start list in an online press release on Jan.11.

鈥淲e are delighted to welcome the fastest and most accomplished women鈥檚 field in the history of the Boston Marathon,鈥 said Boston Athletic Association President Tom Grilk in a press release.

The famous marathon will be run on April 18, 2022.
