He Flew From Canada to Run This Race — Finished Despite a Fall | Lago Maggiore Half Marathon 2026

Описание: Anthony travelled all the way from Montreal, Canada to Italy for one reason — to run the Lago Maggiore Half Marathon.

Speaking with URTV after the race, he describes the experience of running along the shores of Lake Maggiore and discovering the beauty of Stresa, a place he says felt just like the movies.

But the race didn’t go entirely to plan. Near the finish line Anthony tripped and injured his knee. After travelling thousands of kilometres to be there, though, he wasn’t about to let that stop him.

Instead, he reflects on the powerful feeling of falling, getting back up, and finishing the race anyway — a moment that made the experience even more meaningful.

A conversation about travel, perseverance, and the unique feeling of chasing a race experience far from home.
