For more than a decade, few athletes have been as ubiquitous in Canadian athletics as Charles Philibert-Thiboutot<\/strong>. From a legendary university career at Universit\u00e9 Laval that turned the Rouge et Or into the U Sports powerhouse they remain today, Philibert-Thiboutot quickly rose through the ranks on the elite scene. He chalked up podium performances, national records and championship titles on the roads, track and cross-country course, while becoming a mainstay on national teams from Brazil to Budapest, Santiago to Tokyo.<\/p>\n

While his approachability has made him a fan favourite, it’s his versatility across a range of surfaces and distances that has cemented his staying power in the sport. Yet one event still looms large on the nine-time Canadian champion\u2019s bucket list: the mighty marathon.<\/p>\n
