Chase the Pace : Run Ottawa
Chase the Pace is a track meet presented in collaboration between Mile2Marathon and Run Ottawa that emphasizes inclusivity and paced racing. Pacers from Mile2Marathon and professional timing are provided, and participants are placed into heats based on the pace they report at registration so they run with similarly paced athletes.
Event distances include:
- 5000 m (12.5 laps of the track)
- The Mile
- 800 m for kids
- 400 m for kids
- 400 x 1 relay all ages
Adult races focus on the 5000 m distance, with a Mile option also offered. Youth races include 400 m and 800 m events with age categories for certain races. The 400 x 1 relay is free. The event’s charity partner is Camp Quality; the Green Bib option does not include a medal and directs a portion of the registration fee to the charity.
The meet takes place at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility on June 13, 2026. Free parking is available on site; paid parking is offered at Mooney’s Bay Park and street parking may be possible. Online registration closed on Thursday June 11, 2026 and there will be no onsite registration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
