“Dr. Taunton and I were professors of sports medicine at UBC and there was lots of evidence a healthy lifestyle including exercise was an important factor in maintaining good health. Vancouver’s Rachel Cliff was third at 32:41 and she hopes to be back. North Vancouver’s Natasha Wodak was fourth in 33:04 and she will be back.
The record men’s time of 27:31 was posted in 1996 by Joseph Kimani of Kenya, on the original course. The new-course record was set in 2002 when Kenyan James Koskei won his third-straight Sun Run in 27:58. Overall, Kenya leads the pack with 16 wins in the men’s division, followed by Canada’s 11, then three for the U.S. Runners from New Zealand, Ecuador, Australia and Ethiopia have each won one men’s Sun Run.
