M2M CITY

Ottawa For Runners

Ottawa is one of the most active cities in Canada and has a ton to offer runners, with a friendly community and many great events on the spring and fall road and trail racing calendars.

The M2M Ottawa group trains year round, pretty much rain or shine for road running races on the local, national and international calendar.
