Ottawa Fall Colours
Event Rating
| Location: | Ottawa, Ontario Canada |
Event Description
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.

Loved the Fall Colours Marathon, great course, will definitely do it again!

Qualified for Boston at the Fall Colours Marathon, loved the event! GREAT scenic course that’s not over-crowded. So happy to find a Boston Qualifier so close to home, and at a perfect time of year!

Pretty average event but scenic this time of year, I feel like the organizers are burnt out after a long season so maybe a new race crew could get involved to freshen this up.

I was looking for a new PB so I decided to choose a local race in cooler temperatures with fewer crowds. The course offers some challenging inclines through some pretty country scenery in the fall. Great race for first-timers.
Yes, I would recommend this race to a friend.
Yes, I would consider attending this race/event next year.
