🚨 BREAKING: At 70, Jennifer MacDonell just made marathon history 🇨🇦
The Ottawa runner clocked an incredible 3:23:59 at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon, smashing the previous W70–74 world record by more than three minutes.
Even more impressive? Just 8 days earlier, she set Canadian age-group records in both the mile and 5K.
After a full year of preparation, she finally achieved her biggest goal. With two kilometres to go, a cramping calf and strong headwinds weren't going to stop her.
