A look back at Ed Whitlock's final marathon, at 85, in Toronto before he passed away in March 2017 at the age of 86. The owner of dozens of age-group world records, including on the track and on the roads, was an inspiration to hundreds of thousands of everyday runners across the world and helped popularize the Toronto Waterfront Marathon. We speak with his son, Neil Whitlock, elite runners, Rachel Hannah and Reid Coolsaet, Alan Brookes, Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon race director, and sports scientist, Paul Vanderburgh, to reflect on the story of his 3:56:38 marathon as one of the greatest races in running history.
