Your outdoor mission, should you choose to accept it... . . . is to try something different this summer. Yes, as Ottawa Outdoors Magazine
rolls merrily along in this, our 10th anniversary year, one thing has become very clear. There are soooo many more outdoor adventures to do in this region than you can possibly imagine. You might be surprised to hear that just a couple of weeks ago thousands participated in the Camp Fortune Spartan Race, a 5km race running up hills and overcoming obstacles. Not unique enough for you? What
Dave Brown, Publisher Editor-in-chief
about the Perth Kilt Run? In true Celtic fashion, more than a thousand strong donned their kilts and traded
bag pipes for running shoes to race with family and friends. Next year, I’m in. On the cover of this issue you are introduced to the extremely cool sport of Stand
Up Paddleboarding (SUP). You get this great core workout from standing on this surfboard-type object while using an extended paddle and off you go. No longer is your view of Mother Nature from the surface level. Instead you stand tall and enjoy an entirely new perspective. When you make your way to pg. 7 you’ll read about bare-foot running. Who does
it, why they do it, and how they feel they benefit from it. Enjoy the article and you decide if this is the sport for you. Lastly, if all these unique adventure sports are still not enough for you, head over to pg. 8 and read about hiking and climbing among the trees in nearby aerial parks. This too is a workout. You climb, cross suspended foot-bridges, balance across tightrope lines, and scream your head off speeding down zip-lines high above the earth. If you’re anything like me, you’re thinking. . . how do I sign-up?
