Episode Details

Ethiopian refugee Nageso Nyafaro shattered a 15-year men’s marathon record in Edmonton, clocking 2:18:16 — and he didn’t even expect to win. Meanwhile, Dutch runner Mikky Keetels set a new women’s course record in her first-ever Edmonton race, also breaking a Canadian mark in Vancouver. Both athletes shared inspiring stories: Nyafaro began running marathons in a Kenyan refugee camp and now dominates Canadian races; Keetels praised the electric, chaotic crowd energy. The event drew over 10,000 runners — up from last year — and hosted the Canadian Half Marathon Championships, further cementing Edmonton as a rising hub for elite racing.
