Celebrate with a coast-to-coast marathon in 2017

Thinking about your running goals for 2017?

What if you could run across Canada to celebrate Canada’s 150^th birthday?

It might sound far-fetched, but that’s just what we’re planning for the 2017 Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon. Over 42.2 kilometres, runners will travel from coast to coast to coast for an unforgettable Canadian running experience.

You’ll have to wait until early 2017 to get all the details. But here’s one thing we can share.

The last kilometre of the marathon route will be lined with all of the flags of Canada’s provinces and territories. Add thousands of cheering spectators and this will be an extraordinary finish line experience. There’s no better way to celebrate Canada 150.
