Winterman Marathon

All Winterman Marathon events will take place at the Canadian War Museum. The War Museum provides a stunning backdrop to this prestigious annual event – Canada’s winter marathon.

Winterman is being held during Canada’s winter festival – Winterlude – and it is an official Winterlude event. The War Museum is located at 1 Vimy Place in the heart of Ottawa and the National Capital Region, on the shores of the Ottawa River. The run course, an out and back loop of 5 kilometres, follows the Ottawa River, and provides a great view of the city’s stunning skyline on the return run.

You can choose from the 3Km, 5Km, 10Km, Half Marathon, and Marathon distances. You may decide to run solo at any of these races distances, or you can choose to participate in one of the Marathon Relay categories. All finishers will receive a finish medal, a souvenir shirt, a performance certificate, an official time, and a National Capital Region Winterlude experience. We invite you to come to Ottawa to participate in, or watch, the Winterman Marathon, Marathon Relays, and associated races, as well as to enjoy the other Winterlude activities!
