Ottawa Race Weekend wraps up

Tens of thousands of runners taking part in Ottawa Race Weekend were blessed with ideal weather conditions, race organizers say.

Skies were grey, humidity was low and temperatures were cool both Saturday and Sunday.

Organizers say more than 33,000 people, including runners from around the world, gathered in the capital this weekend.

"Run Ottawa is thrilled with this year's results," said race director John Halvorsen in a press release.

Many of the runners, Halvorsen added, supported 69 local charities and raised more than $775,000.

Thousands competed in the main event.

Some raced shorter distances.

Thousands of dollars were raised for charity.
