There were certainly some tremendous performances once again put forth by Canadians this past calendar year. Including some big ones on the International Stage. Once this poll has closed to voting I will fire up a vote for the Canadian Male Performance of the Year.
For simplicity sake I have kept the poll short to 4 people. I believe these are the legitimate contenders to take home the big award. Feel free to comment though if you think I have overlooked someone that had a shot at potentially taking top honors. The link is on the side and candidates are listed alphabetically. Below is a summary of each athlete and their results for 2011.
Also I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and all the best for your 2012 Running Endeavors!
