This weekend marks the 50th anniversary of the Ottawa Marathon, a momentous occasion that promises to be a celebration of community, endurance, and shared history. The Ottawa Marathon has grown immensely since its inception in 1975, evolving from a local event to a globally recognized race. As one of the oldest marathons in Canada, it holds a special place in the hearts of many runners. At iTAB, we are thrilled to be part of this landmark event, commemorating our six-year partnership with Run Ottawa.
Personalizing Every Finish Line
For the past six years, iTAB has had the privilege of partnering with Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend, bringing a personal touch to the race experience. Our mission has always been to celebrate and commemorate runners’ personal achievements in a meaningful way. With iTAB, Tamarck festival runners can personalize their medals with their name and finish time, turning their finishers’ medal into a cherished keepsake that captures their individual journey.
Lisa Georges, Run Ottawa, Director of Marketing and Communications:
“After months of training and effort, iTABs are a wonderful way to celebrate your race results. They provide a little extra joy when they arrive in the mail post-race, and remind you of your amazing achievements. We’re pleased to offer this commemorative product to all our participants.”
Celebrating Together
Our collaboration with Run Ottawa exemplifies our shared values of community and dedication to the event. The personalized iTAB medals have become a beloved tradition, enhancing the runner’s experience by commemorating their hard work and dedication.
Ceri Philpott, iTAB CEO:
