February 4, 2026
The performances of the Canadian runners on the road in 2025 demonstrated the depth of the field.
Some athletes specialized in shorter distances, such as Julie-Anne Staehli and Kieran Lumb, who led the 5K rankings. Others, such as Malindi Elmore, Natasha Wodak, Thomas Fafard, and Andrew Alexander, have a broad range of capabilities from the 5K to the marathon.
Two athletes topped the rankings at two distances, Malindi Elmore and Rory Linkletter, who were Road Running Canada's 2025 Road Runners of the Year.
The rankings also give a glimpse of which are the most competitive races in Canada. In the women's 5K, La Clinique du Coureur in Lac-Beauport, QC, had three top rankings, while in the men's 5K, Road2Hope in Hamilton also had three top rankings. Given that 8 of 20 runners in the 5K rankings ran the Boston 5K, this is obviously seen as a choice race. The Ottawa 10K, being the 2025 Canadian 10K Championships, was by far the most competitive 10K in Canada for both men and women. For the longer distances, no Canadian race dominated as many athletes set their times in international races such as Project 13.1 or the Houston Marathon in the US.
