This was my second year at this event and I have to say, it improved this year over last! Music, food and fun for the entire family. Located at the TD Stadium in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada -it is a great location to climb, crawl and work your way around the 20+ snowy obstacles. Apart from a very cold day, it was a pleasure to climb the various levels of the stadium and explore what new challenges awaited us. Lifting, carrying and sliding down hills added to the enjoyment. Watch for icy patches and enjoy the maple treats along the way. The indoor pavilion is great to warm up and change clothes with multiple washrooms and indoor features to keep spectators entertained. Anthony the MC charges up the crowd and every participant receives a finishers medal. Top 3 received a beautiful stuffed polar bear and free photos await everyone online. Swag is available for purchase and the coveted toques are super warm. The tech tee was great this year with "it's only snow" slogan on it and the organizers kept the heats on time and accurate. This event is a qualifier for the OCR World Champions. Ample parking indoors or on the street for a fee. Many restaurants nearby for apres dining. Easy access from main routes. Bag check available on site. Family friendly event. Multiple lap option available.
