The two feature events of the Ottawa Race Weekend were among the three Canadian races to be recognized by the IAAF for being among the world’s leading road races, with an IAAF Silver Label designation for 2008. According to the IAAF, the world governing body for Track and Field and Road Running, the labeling system awards either a Gold or Silver Label to races in recognition of the efforts employed over the years to build the race into one of the world’s leading road races and will become a significant symbol to runners looking to compete in the best road racing events around the world and to sponsors.
