In 2026, Ottawa kicked off The Run Away’s story. In 2027, we’re heading back for our second edition.
See you at the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend, May 29–30, 2027.
It’s the first race we ran together outside Montreal, back in the spring of 2024. Stéphane loved it so much he went back in 2025 — and that’s where we took our very first group in 2026.
Don’t let the relaxed mood fool you: the course is fast, well established, and ideal for chasing a personal best or a Majors qualifier (Chicago, for one).
For this second edition, we’re deliberately keeping the group small.
Rooms go quickly — write to us to book yours.

The Run Away experience
The Run Away experience is lived in a small group. The goal: real cohesion, and care taken over every detail.
We chose the Lord Elgin Hotel for one simple reason: you’re metres from the start and the finish.
No stress, no transport to sort out on race morning.
We leave Montreal together, pick up the bibs without a hitch, soak up the atmosphere… and all you have to do is focus on your race.
The rest? The group takes care of it.
It carries you all the way to the finish line.
Agence Run Away inc. holds Quebec travel agent permit no. 703748.
Why choose The Run Away?
We design running-focused getaways so you can actually soak in the experience.
Your only job is to run somewhere new—leave all the planning to us.
