Plus, runners aged 21 and over can enjoy a refreshing craft beer or craft soda from the local favorite, Not Lost Brewing, just a short walk from the finish line. With the race starting and ending in downtown Ottawa, this is a fantastic opportunity to join the community for what could be the last marathon or half marathon of the year.
