Dan’s ATB Hybrid Hammer & Brews

Synopsis: This race is always well organized. Being my 9th time running the 30k, it was nice to go back to in-person racing with this race.

The ATB Hammer Hybrid consist of a virtual 2k, 5k, 10k and 15k and capped with in-person 30k. I did all the virtual distances during my training leading up to the 30k in-person race.

H&J: Love the fine selection of ATB Brews for the post-race recovery.

Around The Bay with Yvonne – 2022

It was cool to be running in the oldest road race in North America.

In spite of the wind and the cold everyone seemed to be in good spirits and grateful to be running again, for many this was their first race in over 2 years.

Note: ‘Run Ottawa’ provides a bus shuttle service for this event to keep transportation simple.
