Elite Athlete Information

Through the Elite Athlete Program, Run Ottawa and the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend aim to support Canadian runners while recognizing the significance of the global running community and celebrating exceptional performance.

Run Ottawa welcomes both elite and competitive athletes, providing national-level athletes the opportunity to compete for spots on national teams and meet selection criteria, all while promoting healthy competition.

By fostering an inclusive and healthy community, without barriers to participation we are creating opportunities to promote physical activity and support the community at large.
