Event Description
An Official Canadian Tulip Festival Event:
Whether you're local or coming from afar, the Tulip Festival is an event you have to experience. It's Canada's longest-running and largest-attended event and includes over 300,000 tulips! This will be one of the most scenic runs around.
This year's event is in honour of RCAF (the Royal Canadian Air Force), who's celebrating 100 years of service in 2024! This event is only a small part of the year-long programming that they'll have to mark the centennial milestone. You'll see the RCAF team proudly honouring their history and heritage at a number of events like the RCAF Run, RCAF Gala, Legends of the Sky, and the the RCAF Gaming Tournament.
At this event, you'll see RCAF members volunteering on the course, helping at the sign-making station, and making it a race to remember!
Participants love:

Fundraiser
Charity of the Event - The Canadian Tulip Legacy
Our volunteer and event-based staff are associated with a local charity. Please consider making a donation to them, as a thank you for making this race possible. The Canadian Tulip Legacy was established to celebrate the historic Royal gift of tulips from the Dutch to Canadians immediately following the Second World War as a symbol of international friendship. The Festival preserves the memorable role of the Canadian troops in the liberation of the Netherlands and Europe, as well as commemorates the birth of Dutch Princess Margriet in Ottawa during World War II—the only royal personage ever born in Canada. The Canadian Tulip Legacy produces the Canadian Tulip Festival each Spring and has been celebrating the tulip, an international symbol of friendship and peace, since 1953.
