New Year's Run - Ottawa
Embark on a healthy and invigorating start to the New Year with the 41st annual Running Room New Year's Run! Kick off the year on the right foot by either establishing or maintaining an active lifestyle through this long-standing tradition. This annual run takes place in various communities nationwide, encouraging individuals to embrace a fitness-focused beginning to the year. Lace up your running shoes, join the community, and make a positive stride towards a healthier and more active lifestyle. Fundraising proceeds will support the Children's Miracle Network hospitals in each event city.
