We are an official charity again this year!

OUR 2016 GOALS:

– 50 Runners
– $10,000
– 1 Unforgettable Weekend!

This is a great weekend for anyone looking to get connected and inspired by spending a weekend around an amazing group of Type 1s. All running levels welcome, as there are many ways to be a part of the team… or just come out to cheer! Set some running goals for 2016 NOW and join Connected In Motion as we head to Ottawa, Ontario to participate in the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend!

You have three options when it comes to registering for the 2016 Ottawa Marathon Weekend with Connected in Motion:

(1) As a participant (running, walking, and/or cheering) with Connected in Motion (No fundraising element, event weekend costs will be covered by participant including race bib, team dinner and accommodation).

(2) As a participant + fundraiser with Connected in Motion (Fundraising incentives are included below – All donations of $20 will receive a tax receipt!)

(3) As a Spectathlete with Connected in Motion! (What is a spectathlete, you ask? Do you take your cheering seriously? Do you want to be there to support a loved one and the CIM community at large? Then you’re a spectathlete! No fundraising required, but always appreciated!)

Registration is open to both Type 1s and 5.5ers (What’s a 5.5er, you ask? 5.5ers are an important part of the CIM community – the friends, families, and supporters of folks living with Type 1 who makes are lives infinitely easier!) Bring out your families and friends to join us during the weekend’s events by walking, running, or cheering!

Don’t forget to visit the Connected in Motion Ottawa Race Weekend Facebook page to get some ongoing support and encouragement for your training and to get connected with your team. Looking forward to seeing you all in Ottawa May 28-29, 2016!

How to proceed with registering for Ottawa Race Weekend 2016

Step 1 (Are you a spectathlete? Cheering Only? – Skip to Step 2)

You must first register for the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend for the race of your choice. (Don’t forget to choose ‘Connected in Motion’ as the official charity you are running for!)

Step 2

Please register as part of Team Connected in Motion. This will help us keep you up to date on information around the weekend, plan numbers for team meals, coordinate our cheering stations and generally help us keep track of numbers.

Step 3

Want to fundraise? Great! Head over to our StayClassy fundraising page and create your very own fundraising page!

(Please note: if you do not already have a Classy (formerly StayClassy) account you will need to set that up before creating your personal Ottawa Race Weekend Fundraising Page.)

Also, remember – All Canadian donations $20 and over are 100% tax deductible!
