The Ottawa Race Weekend is an annual weekend of road running events, which is held the last weekend of May in the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. In 2012, the event took on the name Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend when Ottawa-based Tamarack Homes joined as title sponsor. The two-day running event includes seven races, all of which start and end at Ottawa City Hall: a 1.2 km kids marathon, 2K, 5K, 10K, half marathon, wheelchair marathon, and marathon.〔(Race Weekend Event Schedule ). Run Ottawa. Retrieved on 2012-06-04.〕 Over 40,000 participants take part in the races each year. The signature event of the weekend is the Ottawa Marathon, which was first held in 1975. Today it is the largest marathon event in Canada and is a qualifier for the Boston Marathon. The event is also home to the Canadian Marathon Championships and the Canadian Forces Marathon Championships. The Ottawa Race Weekend was at one point the only road racing event in the world to host two IAAF Silver Label events: the 10K and the Ottawa Marathon. In 2014 the 10k became the first IAAF Gold Label road race in Canada.〔http://www.runottawa.ca/news-item/ottawa-10k-gets-gold/〕 == Organization == The event is organized by Run Ottawa, a not-for-profit organization.
