Life

Wilton, who started running at the age of nine, was 13 when she set the tone; it was her first marathon and ran on an unpaved Eastern Canadian marathon championship course. Their time exceeded the previous record from 1964 by more than four minutes.

Wilton was trained by Thian "Sy" Mah. Mah completed his first marathon that day and then set a Guinness world record for most life marathons . At Mah's invitation, Kathrine Switzer also ran the marathon that day - just sixteen days after her historic run at the Boston Marathon . Wilton reportedly told Switzer, who finished about an hour behind her, that she was more interested in The Monkees than in running.

Wilton stopped running at the age of 17, although she competed in the World Cross Country Championships in Scotland when she was 15.

As an adult, Wilton worked in the financial industry, has two children, and is married (now known as Maureen Mancuso ). It wasn't until her daughter began competitive sports that Wilton resumed the sport and shared her running history with her. Wilton and Switzer ran the 2010 Toronto GoodLife Half Marathon together, a reunion featured by John Chipman in a CBC Radio report titled Did my Mom ever Run? documented.
