About This Race
The Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend is one of Canada's most prestigious running events, bringing the nation's capital to life over a weekend of racing. The marathon course is flat and fast, running along the scenic Rideau Canal, past Parliament Hill, through leafy neighborhoods, and across the Ottawa River into Gatineau, Quebec - making it a unique two-province race. The event is a Boston qualifier and regularly sells out. The weekend features a marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, and kids marathon.
