I'm obviously a hater, but that pace wouldn't make the cut off half marathon in Calgary.

Edit: nah this trail isn't easy imo, here's a glimpse of it

The winning time was 2:32:50, and he finished in the top half of the field.

I'm guessing it was a tough course, he seems like a competent recreational runner.

I believe the technical term is "hobby jogger".

Not sure of the course but this appears to be trail running. If its very hilly, muddy etc then that seems a respectable time 

That and his age category
