Athletic Standards
The Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend supports the dedication and commitment of elite athletes competing in the 2022 Tartan Ottawa International Marathon and Athletics Canada Canadian 10K Championships by offering an attractive prize money structure including a bonus structure.
Prize money for the 2022 Tartan Ottawa International Marathon and Athletics Canada Canadian 10K Championships is available only to athletes who pre-register for either race through the elite athlete application form. Athletes who register through open registration will not be eligible.
International Athletes
For the World Athletics Gold Label Tartan Ottawa International Marathon, we are looking for international athletes capable of sub 2:09 (men), sub 2:26 (women) for the marathon. The Ottawa 10K presented by Otto’s Subaru will not be a World Athletics Gold Label race for 2022, therefore we will not be recruiting international athletes for this year’s race.
