If you're into CrossFit, you're going to want to hear this one.
Ottawa is on track to host the CrossFit Games East Regional in 2017 or 2018.
"The athletes are crazy dynamic people and the fans are the typical rabid fans you can expect from this type of thing and it would be a great win for Ottawa to bring this type of event here," said Sports Commissioner and Innes Ward Councillor Jody Mitic.
Mitic said he'd received a request for proposal from the organization.
The event would draw the top crossfitters from the Northeastern United States and eastern Canada.
The top athletes from the event would go on to compete in California.
