    I'm going to be in Ottawa either next Sunday or the one
    after that to set up a new server. Can anyone suggest a good
    route not too far from Bell's Corners? I'd like to do around
    ten miles.

    Thanks. Mike Lazenby

    Au contraire! There are many many good places to run in
    Ottawa, though Bell's Corners is not considered the mecca
    for running. (Errr, in my opinion. People that live in
    that area may have better "inside info" about good routes
    in the area.)

    Most people here do their long scenic runs along the
    parkways and paths adjacent to the Rideau Canal, the
    Ottawa River, the Rideau River, the bridges to Hull, and
    all that. Bliss!

    In addition to the links that others have sent, here is a
    link for a local running club -- the National Capital
    Runners Association: ncra-ottawa.comncra-ottawa.com

    If you check the "running links" link on their home page,
    you will find maps etc. of routes in different parts of the
    city and distances and all that. There is also a posting of
    most of the local events, in case you happen to be looking
    for a race or whatever while you are here. Oh, and most of
    the local running stores (Running Room
    (www.runningroom.com) , Motionware, Bushtukah
    (www.bushtukah.com), etc. have regular organized free group
    runs ... LSD, hills, intervals, whatever.

    Hope that helps,

    Thank you. This was very helpful. I'm on a pretty tight
    schedule so I won't have time to travel far to a nice route.
    I may even have to find a hotel with a treadmill 8?(

    hey, if you are in Bells Corners, depending on where you are
    located, there ARE some trails out there. if you are near
    Moodie Dr., go up toward the big Nortel location at Carling.
    i hear from fellow runners that there are paths around the
    campus there. also, if you just pop across Carling, you're
    at the Ottawa River, where a lengthy path follows the river
    for miles. i used to do long runs along that one.

    and if you are south of Robertson Rd, i think there
    are trails or paths of some kind in the wooded areas.
    seek them out!

    hope this helps,

    Cam
