New "more urban" Ottawa marathon course<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In a news release today<\/a>, the people behind Ottawa’s race weekend are talking up their new “more urban” routings, rightly sensing that a course through Ottawa’s visually appealing main street districts is a lot more interesting for contestants and supporters alike than the usual windswept southbound routing through the Experimental Farm.<\/p>\n

The real innovation is the main marathon’s sweep west, though Chinatown — and underneath its magnificent Royal Arch — through West Wellington and ultimately through Westboro before returning east via the Ottawa River Parkway.<\/p>\n

The three BIAs along the western leg of the race are talking up the new routes, too, with each vying for a piece of the business expected to be generated by the 40,000 registrants of the weekend’s races.<\/p>\n

The maps and more information about the new routes can be seen here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
