Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Fri. July 31st, 2026

July 31, 2026

We often talk about pushing our limits, but our next guest is taking that to a whole new level. This August, Ottawa’s Rudi Asseer is tackling 'The Divide 200' – a grueling 200-mile ultramarathon through the Alberta Rockies. But he isn’t just running for a medal.

Aviation expert John Gradek offers his reaction to the latest developments.
