About the Event

Celebrate Canada Day with one of Ottawa's longest-running community traditions! For 39 years, runners and spectators have come together to enjoy an uplifting morning filled with activity. Whether you choose the scenic 10K route or opt for the more family-friendly 5K distance, both courses offer a flat terrain ideal for all levels.
Children’s excitement takes center stage as well, featuring a popular 1K kids’ race and even a charming 100m tot trot for those just starting their running journey. These events capture the joy of celebrating national pride through sport and unity in communities across Canada.
In its milestone year of 2026, this cherished event is excited to announce The Royal as an official charity partner. By participating or donating, you support groundbreaking research aimed at improving healthcare outcomes for all Canadians.
