Here is where you can get information on O.S.A.M.. First of all, O.S.A.M. stands for Ottawa Summer Animal Marathon. It's an annual thing. Every year, on the last Sunday in May, the O.S.A.M. race begins. The most competitors O.S.A.M. has ever had was 1293 people with stuffed animals. There were so many people that it took 3 1/2 hours to do! Normally, O.S.A.M. has around 500 competitors, which takes about an hour or so. I've gone every year, and it's really fun. The reason O.S.A.M. didn't race with real animals is because too many animals fought with each other. Otherwise, they would've done it with animals. If you go to the O.S.A.M race (which is in a different location in Ottawa every year) the race hosts will give you a string that is around a meter long to tie to your stuffed animal so that when you run, your animal will follow you. Each person gets a little map that show where the coarse is, but since when a person runs, they don't normally are carrying anything, the hosts will make a long line with tape to notify the runner where they must run.

Each year the winner gets a T-shirt that says O.S.A.M reunion. The 1st place winner gets more than the 2nd and 3rd, it's the same way with the 2nd and 3rd place winners.
