Organiser's description

Bike, kayak and run through Ottawa's scenic routes.

This race will consist of three components: biking, kayaking, and trail running. Participants will bike from Arrowhead Park to the Reservoir along Second Street, then kayak back to Arrowhead Park, then run the trails at Arrowhead Park. The biking is approximately 2 miles, kayaking (canoes are also acceptable) approximately 4 miles and trail running approximately 3/4 miles. We hope for this to be a fun and challenging event for our community that we can build onto each year. For some the challenge will be: can you complete it? while for others the challenge may be: how fast can you complete it? Either way, it should be a good time.

Our goal for this race is to not only have fun and highlight Ottawas kayak launches and trails, but to pilot a potential bike path from Arrowhead Park to the Ottawa Reservoir. This is a first step toward making this path a reality. Challenge yourself and help Ottawa grow at the same time. What could be better?

Proceeds go to Go Ottawa and our efforts towards making this bike path a reality!
