Coming soonOpening The Run Away’s story in Ottawa was a no-brainer.
It’s the first race we ran together outside Montreal, back in the spring of 2024… and Stéphane loved it so much he went back in 2025.
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 escape, we’re deliberately capping the group at 10 runners.
Rooms go quickly — write to us and you’ll hear from us the moment bookings open.
Who is this race for?
To everyone.
Ottawa is the all-rounder of race weekends.
Want to beat your time?

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.
