ARCHIVED RACE: Fall Colours Marathon, Relays and Runs @ Cumberland Heritage Village, Ottawa, On, Canada on 07 October 2012

Athletics Canada/Run Canada Certification – ON-2002-078-BDC

The Ottawa Fall Colours Marathon and Ottawa Fall Colours Half Marathon have received official certification by Athletics Canada and Run Canada and are considered official distance events. The course was measured and certified by Bernie Conway, National Course Certifier, IAAF Grade A Measurer, and USATF/RRTC Final Signatory.

This certification along with our ChampionChip Timing means that the Ottawa Fall Colours Marathon may be used as a “Qualifier for the Boston Marathon”. Qualification is automatic if the Boston Qualifying standard is met during this race.

We have something for everyone, and the setting for the runs, is the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum in Ottawa. It is a turn-of-the-century village with all the trappings we need to make this Thanksgiving extravaganza one with a Canadian heritage flavour. It’s right here in Ottawa, but in a true country setting and rural estate home courses. The elements of the classic big city marathons will be there, with an intimate humble, country Thanksgiving flavour.

Enjoy a run (or walk!) at your distance, and at your speed, through a countryside of estate homes, farms and magnificent views – at the 2012 Ottawa Fall Colours Runs.
