The race starts at Ottawa's City Hall, takes runners down the famous Rideau Canal and by the tulips of Dow's Lake before crossing the Pretoria Bridge to an exciting finish in front of thousands of cheering spectators. The marathon course uniquely crosses into both Ontario and Quebec, providing a mix of urban and natural scenery.

Why attend here

Late May in Ottawa means the city is shaking off winter: the Rideau Canal is open for strolling, and the tulips are still in full bloom along the parkways. Between runs, catch the Changing of the Guard on Parliament Hill or wander the ByWard Market for a beavertail and a coffee. It's a crisp, sunny weekend perfect for a personal best and a taste of Canada's capital.
