The Ottawa Race Weekend (also known as Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend for sponsorship reasons) is an annual weekend of road running events held the last weekend of May in the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The two-day running event includes seven races, including the Ottawa Marathon, all of which start and end at Ottawa City Hall.[3] The marathon was first held in 1975, and is categorized as an Elite Label Road Race by World Athletics.[4][5] Over 40,000 participants take part in the races each year.
The Ottawa Race Weekend also includes Canada's largest health and fitness expo, which opens on the Thursday before the weekend. In addition, each year, participants in the Ottawa Race Weekend raise close to $1 million for approximately 25 local and national charities affiliated with the event.
The 2020 and 2021 editions of the race were cancelled due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.[6]
