Green Bib Fund
To offer participants the opportunity to reduce their environmental footprint and support their community, Run Ottawa has a Green Bib option during registration for Run Ottawa events, including Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend.
The Green Bib does not include a medal or a race t-shirt (unless purchased), instead, a portion of your registration fee goes to the charity partner of that event. PLUS your contribution will be matched by the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend Green Bib Fund.
You can also top up your donation at the end of the your registration process.
Since the start of the program in 2021, participating charities have received over $78,000 from the Green Bib program and in 2023, over $23,700 was raised thanks to Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend participants who chose the green bib option during their registration.
