Bloomex helped cheer on thousands of athletes as they conquered the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon on Sunday, October 21, 2018.

Over 25, 000 runners from every Canadian province, 40 American states and 70 countries came to compete in Toronto's world-class race, setting records and breaking personal bests.

Bloomex was honoured to once again provide medalist bouquets for finalists and flowers for the venue. Our florists mirrored the official colours of the race with red, white and blue blooms. 

Kinsley Middleton won the Canadian Marathon Championship title in her debut, clinching a spot on the Team Canada for the 2020 Olympic Games. Raining champion Leslie Sexton came in secind and Krista Duchene third.

Cameron Levin made history when he broke the Canadian Marathon record, finishing at 2:09:25, smashing the 43-year old record.

The new Guiness World Record for Joggling...yes, Joggling… went to Halifax’s own Michael Bergeron, running the half- marathon in 1:17:12 while also continuously juggling.

Congratulations to the over all marathon winners Benson Kipruto finishing at 2:07:25 and Mimi Belete who set the new women's course record of 2:22:28! 

See everyone next year!
