On this episode of Le Run Down we had the honor of speaking with one of Canada's fastest marathoners and Olympian, Trevor Hofbauer.

Trevor didn't enjoy running track in high school but could see the benefits it gave him for his true passion, basketball.

He continued to run cross country as a way to stay in shape and that developed into so much more. Today, he's one of two Canadians to break the 2 hour 10 minute marathon barrier and has his sites set on Paris 2024.
