I was a little surprised to see no Canadian has ever cracked 2:10.
There are only six different guys on the top 20 list, and nobody has run faster than 2:11:34 since 1995. 15 years.
Kind of weak Canada. Kind of weak.
They also couldn't fit their #1 marathoner Jerome Drayton properly for a singlet either. But you will notice what he did have. Yep, a mustache.

*UPDATE*
Jerome Drayton of Canada was actually born Peter Buniak in Germany.
He moved to Canada when he was 11.
SO Canadians are even slower than at first thought.
And David Edge was a transplanted Englishman.
