No More Skating at Ottawa Race Weekend

This week the organizers of the Ottawa Race Weekend announced they have dropped inline skating from their lineup of events. They say they can no longer include inline skating without compromising the quality of their running event. The main problem seems to be scheduling. They don't want skaters and runners on the course at the same time, because say the international elite status of their event requires an obstruction free course. The Ottawa Inline Skating Club, who has organized the skating portion of the race in the past, will try to have a similar event sometime in the the Spring.
