Ottawa Race Weekend is the latest event to be cancelled due to COVID-19. The virtual race will start as early as May 23, but will be spread out over the spring and summer months, until August 31. Run Ottawa said it will partner with the international race timing company Sportstats to create a virtual finish line, using "e-bibs." The reality is that a full refund for all participants would bankrupt us, and there wouldn't be a race weekend in 2021.
