Set at Dows Lake in Ottawa, the Mothers Day Flower Fun Run is an Official Canadian Tulip Festival Event, framed by Canada’s longest-running tulip festival with over 300,000 tulips. The course offers multiple options: a 1K Kids Run and a 5K, including a fast under-35-minute option or a Run/Walk/Stroll for longer paces. The closed, easily navigable route features a 2.5K loop that is run twice for the 5K.
Registration includes a personalized bib, professional timing, on-course nutrition from XACT, race photography sponsored by the festival, podium prizes for top finishers, and post-race non-alcoholic beer plus snacks. Bib pickup occurs May 9 and on race day near Preston and Queen Elizabeth Drive. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
