A (pink) limousine full of 16 Guelph Victors women descended on Toronto last Sunday morning for the annual running of the Divas Half-Marathon. There’s not a lot of news to report, because “what goes on in the limousine, stays in the limousine,” according to Wendy Greenfield. But we can confirm that the Divas chose a hot day to run, with temperatures approaching 30 degrees. (The race was supposed to take place on Toronto island, where it would have been cooler, but because of flooding it was moved eastward and to the mainland.)

The race group was organized by Wendy Tokeson (centre of the photo above), who broke her ankle and tore her knee apart in an e-bike accident about a week ago, but she attended nonetheless – she gets around pretty effectively with a little scooter that supports her injured right leg.

The top Guelph finisher was Tica Simmons, 52, who placed 11th in a time of 1:44. She said on Saturday that she was “not really the diva type” and wouldn’t wear the regulation pink tutu provided to all race participants. But then this photo showed up today, confirming, according to Tokeson, “that everyone has an inner Diva, and Tica rocked hers yesterday.”

The first place finisher in the race was Fr. Lapointe, a 39-year-old male model from Laval, Quebec, in 1:22, followed hot on the heels by the 1,005 Divas.
