Chase the Pace

Chase the Pace

Chase the Pace is a track meet presented in collaboration between Mile2Marathon and Run Ottawa. The event emphasizes inclusivity and provides a supported track experience with pacers, professional timing, and trackside encouragement.

Adult races are primarily 5000 m (12.5 laps of the track), a distance between speed and endurance. The programme also includes the Mile and kids races of 400 m and 800 m. A 400 x 1 relay open to all ages is offered free of charge.

Participants are placed in heats based on the pace indicated at registration; Mile2Marathon pacers manage pacing for those heats. Pacing groups will be announced at the start line and may be adjusted if necessary. Online registration has a stated deadline and the organizers note there will be no onsite registration.

The event takes place at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility. Camp Quality is the charity partner; the organization provides year round programs for children with cancer and blood disorders and supports families through camp activities. Free parking is available onsite, paid parking is available at Mooney's Bay Park, and street parking may be possible. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
