Two 18-year-old men are accused of trying to rob a runner during a race in Oakville.

The runner was participating in the Ragnar Relay along Lakeshore Road West early Saturday morning when the two teens tried to rob him of his wallet at gunpoint.

Two other runners, who came upon the scene, tried to help but were threatened by one of the men who fired several shots at them. One was grazed across her nose by a pellet but didn’t need medical treatment.

The two accused fled but were located nearby by police.

Justin Culos, 18, of Oakville, faces robbery with a firearm and assault, among other criminal offences.

Luka Zivkov, 18, of Oakville, faces robbery with a firearm, assault, discharging a firearm and pointing a firearm.

All three runners who were from the United States continued with the race, which goes from Cobourg to Niagara.
