When Krista DuChene turned 40 two

years ago and became a masters athlete,

nothing changed. She continued to log huge miles

and clock some of the fastest marathon times

in the country. “It was just another number,”

DuChene says. “It didn’t bother me at all.”

The Magnificent Monarch Ultra

48 

Every year, millions of monarch butterf lies
defy the odds and successfully escape the
Canadian winter by flying to the mountains near
Morelia, Mexico, spawning a 4 ,300-kilometre,
47-day stage race of humans who follow them.

Coast-to-Coast: Seven Great Canadian Marathons

52 

Marathoning enraptures Canadians country-

wide, from record breakers to charit y runners

and even the odd joggler. And while we may be

drawn to the challenge for different reasons, each

reason ought to be celebrated. Canadian Running

tips its hat to some of the best 42 .2k races our

nation has to offer.
