Kapral captivates in Canadian Intl. Marathon win
(Toronto Sun)
30-year-old Michal Kapral, a relative new comer to marathoning, has won the Canadian International marathon with a winning time of two hours, thirty minutes and 40 seconds. While the winning time was well off the course record (2:15:17), Kapral led from start to finish. This win comes as the culmination of an effort begun three years ago in 1999 when a good time in that year's Canadian International inspired him to make a serious attempt at a win.
