The true story of two British track athletes competing in the 1924 Summer Olympics. One is a devout Scottish missionary who runs for God, the other is a Jewish student at Cambridge who runs for fame and to escape prejudice.

God, fame, escaping prejudice, qualifying for the Francophone Games/Jeux de la Francophonie: All valid reasons for running in this Sunday’s Toronto Waterfront Marathon. There’s that, and of course the mega-concert of “Canadian classic rock band Lighthouse and the worlds’ #1 calypso/soca artist David Rudder.” If we knew about this before, we would have quit eating nachos for breakfast a long time ago.
Any Torontoist peoples running? If so, an interesting case study would be to examine the athletic wear of these runners in contrast to those in the CIBC Run for the Cure…Are there more, less or a lot less LuLu Lemon hot pants?
