Elite athlete Mary Keitany of Kenya crossed the finish and claimed gold at the Ottawa 10K last May.

Recently announced as the venue for the 2015 Canadian 10K Championships, the Ottawa 10K, one of the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend’s signature events has achieved the gold label standard from the International Association of Athletics Federation’s (IAAF). As the highest standard awarded by the international governing body of running, races awarded the Gold label have met a strict criteria including the caliber of elite runners, scope of media coverage and logistical execution of the event.

As the first road race in Canada to achieve this standard, the Ottawa 10K becomes one of only four 10K races worldwide to be awarded this prestigious status. What does this mean for the Ottawa Race Weekend? According to John Halverson, president of Run Ottawa and race director of the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend, achieving the gold standard, “puts Ottawa on the map as a destination for amateur and elite runners looking for a world-class running experience.” With the 30th running of the Ottawa 10K happening May 23, 2015, as part of Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend, organizers are looking ahead, aiming to take the Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon from its current Silver label to Gold label status.

  1. Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  3. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

  6. Levi’s Stadium is the first new NFL stadium to be built in California in 50 years and cost about $1.2 billion. The stadium seats about 68,500 fans and is the first pro football stadium to achieve LEED Gold certification. In fact, 49ers officials are so proud of the stadium’s sustainable status that visitors can actually view display inside the stadium that shows how much energy and water the structure is using in real time.
