Ottawa Marathon (National Capital Race Weekend)

The ING Ottawa Marathon, Canada's premier running event and host to the 2008 Canadian Marathon Championships, is reaching out to Canadian runners with the announcement of a new Canadian Elite Program. It offers guaranteed entry, travel assistance and accommodations to any Canadian athletes who meet an "A" standard at any non-aided certified race. This means running sub 2:22:00 in a marathon or sub 1:07:30 in a half marathon for men. For women any time under 2:47:00 for the marathon and 1:19:00 for the half marathon will earn them elite status. For runners who don't meet the "A" standard, they can still earn a trip to the championships as a seeded athlete by achieving the "B" standard laid out in the plan. Guaranteed entry and priority placement at the start line will go to any athlete running sub 2:31:00 (full marathon) or 1:11:30 (half marathon) for the men, and sub 3:05:00 (full marathon) or 1:25:00 (half marathon) for the women.
