Ben Preisner (born 22 March 1996 in Oakville, Ontario)[1] is a Canadian long-distance runner.[2]
He competed at the collegiate level for the University of Tulsa where he studied chemical engineering.[3]
In 2019, he competed in the senior men's race at the 2019 IAAF World Cross Country Championships held in Aarhus, Denmark.[1][4] He finished in 77th place.[4]
Following delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Preisner ran 2:10:17 in his debut marathon in the Marathon Project 2020 in Chandler, Arizona, over a minute faster than the Olympic standard of 2:11:30.[5] As a result, he was nominated to represent Canada in the marathon event at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.[6] Competing in Tokyo, he ran a time of 2:19:27 to finish in forty-sixth place, the highest placement among the three Canadian competitors.[7]
