First Half Recap
There was some magic in the air at this past weekend’s First Half in Vancouver. Aside from Cam Levins nonchalantly crushing the Canadian Half Marathon record, Mile2Marathon had 110 athletes cross the finish line with 44 PBs, shaving a collective 95 min from their previous best. Results aside, the camaraderie and teamwork we witnessed on race day remind us how special this community truly is. Here’s to celebrating all 110 athletes who put in the work and gave it their all over the weekend.
