The top Island woman was Ashley Tierney of Cornwall, who came in 130th overall, in a time of four hours and 29 minutes, finishing 39th in a field of 80 women.
Veteran marathoner Francis Fagan of Charlottetown was the second-fastest Islander coming in 43rd place, and Matthew Hanus of Cornwall after him, placing 69th.
220 men and women ran the full marathon.
