Superb Pavement

We moved the Festival site to Rockcliffe Parkway - one of Ottawa's beautiful Parkways that runs along the Ottawa River in the eastern part of the city. The conditions are absolutely ideal for inline skaters: amazing pavement, and a fast, scenic and safe course.

HEART & STROKE FOUNDATION

As part of our effort to promote healthy living in Ottawa, 2008 Ottawa Inline Skating Festival is a proud supporter of the Heart and Stroke Foundation Fit for Heart program . Fit for Heart events take place throughout the year in a number of communities as an exciting way to raise money for critical life-saving research.

Festival participants have the option to raise money on behalf of the Heart and Stroke Foundation prior to race day. To participate in the fundraising, you may [securely sign up online] or print out a pledge form . The Heart and Stroke Foundation will be collecting pledge forms and donations at their tent on race day.
