The six amazing races. The 200,000 cheering spectators. The electric atmosphere of the starting line…
Those are just a few of the reasons why so many people call it Canada’s biggest running party.
Organized by runners for runners, the weekend includes a 2K, 5K, half-marathon, kids marathon, as well as two IAAF Gold-Label races: the Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon and the Ottawa 10K.
The courses are flat and fast, offering an excellent chance to set a new personal best while still being able to enjoy the sights and landmarks along the routes.
With springtime temperatures that average a perfect 16c, it’s also easy to relax post-race at the finishing area with live music, a beer garden and Canada’s biggest running expo.
Outside the weekend running festivities, Ottawa offers a small-town feel with big-city attractions, including many of Canada’s best museums and galleries, as well as top-notch shopping and dining. For an extended trip in North America, Ottawa is centrally located, allowing for easy travel to Montreal, Toronto, New York and Boston.
