Exclusive offer from Canadian Affair; Niagara Falls tour add-on
Here's the email we received from last year's winner, Paul Young of Liverpool...
Dear Alan,
"I have just arrived home in Liverpool after an absolutely fabulous time at
the Scotiabank Half Marathon [2007].
Congratulations to you and your team for organising such an incredible event, and for claiming
the Canadian marathon record, that was well deserved and you must feel justly proud of that
achievement.
Gill and I enjoyed every moment of our trip, but without doubt the race itself was the
highlight. The course was superb, and so atmospheric too with all of the entertainment and
excitement to keep you going. Running back into the city and seeing that amazing skyline was
truly memorable.
The hard work and organisation that has obviously gone on in the background enabled the whole
event to go off flawlessly from the packet pick up on the Friday right through to crossing the
finishing line on the Sunday, no mean feat in a bustling city like Toronto.
It was great. Thank you so much for giving Gill and I the opportunity to be there.
Cheers and good luck for the future."
—Paul Young, Liverpool
