#52: Dylan Wykes - Top Canadian Marathoner, Olympian, Mile2Marathon founder and Coach, Family man - a podcast by WRG Media
from 2020-09-02T08:00
On this episode of Le Run Down we spoke with one of Canada's fastest marathoners, Dylan Wykes.
Running was a sport he enjoyed from a young age. But his competitive nature is what allowed him to excel, earning him a scholarship at a D1 school and eventually making his way onto the 2012 Olympic team.
From head coach, to elite coordinator for Ottawa race weekend, Dylan remains present in running. It’s clear that he’s passionate but he may be more connected to the community now, than ever before.
