Local Paralympian host for Games qualifier in Port Elgin this weekend Back to video Cassidy will race alongside Alexandre Dupont of Quebec, Tristan Smyth of British Columbia and Ben Brown of Nova Scotia. The 42.2-km race will consist of 15-and-a-half 2.7-km loops of Gustavus Street, Bruce Street, Biener Drive, and Waterloo Street, all of which will be closed during the event. Volunteers from the Port Elgin Rotary Club will help direct traffic during the race. Cassidy said he’s already met the minimum Paralympic marathon standard for the Games, but he’s hoping to increase his world ranking in order to be selected to the Canadian team headed to Tokyo. He’s also hoping to compete in the 5,000-metre (where he’s currently ranked ninth in the world), the 1,500-metre and the 800-metre races.
