Ottawa’s annual race weekend has a new title sponsor after going three years without.
Ottawa-based home builder Tamarack Homes will be the new title sponsor, event officials announced Wednesday, signing a five-year contract. The last sponsor agreement with Dutch insurance company ING ended in 2008.
The seven-race weekend, which bills itself as Canada’s largest running festival, attracted 40,000 runners last year.
Volunteer group Run Ottawa organizes it and often receives volunteer assistance from those working for the title sponsor.
“Having secured a title sponsor provides us with the long-term financial footing that will allow us to make the weekend even more enjoyable for our 40,000 runners,” said race director Jim Robinson.
