THE 5 ws
La Marche Maple Leaf March
La Marche Maple Leaf March® is a world-class, non-competitive, not-for-profit international walking festival held annually in the Ottawa-Gatineau region.
Its mission is to promote walking as a fitness activity; foster international understanding and friendships; and showcase some of the monuments, memorials, and parks of Canada's National Capital Region (NCR).
La Marche Maple Leaf March® has undertaken the necessary steps to be recognized as an official event of both the IML Walking Association (IML) and the International Federation of Popular Sports (IVV). This designation will enable the Maple Leaf March to attract walkers to the NCR from across Canada and around the world.
La Marche Maple Leaf March
Save the date! Canada's newest international walking event, La Marche Maple Leaf March®, is scheduled to take place in the National Capital Region of Ottawa-Gatineau from 11-13 October 2024.
The NCR is located a short two-hour direct flight from Arlington, VA, and La Marche Maple Leaf March® is strategically timed to occur the weekend prior to the US Freedom Walk Festival. Our aim is to attract both Canadian and international participants to our beautiful region to walk on city and country routes of 5, 10, 20, or 42km.
