WoRun: West Ottawa Run Club is a vibrant athletic community based in Ottawa, dedicated to bringing together runners of all levels for fun outings and social interactions. Established in the summer of 2022, WoRun is the perfect opportunity for serious runners, beginners, or anyone in between to connect with like-minded individuals and enjoy the benefits of exercising in a group setting.
Every Wednesday, WoRun members gather at Kichesippi Brewery located at 2265 Robertson Rd, Ottawa for a group run followed by some well-deserved social time. Participants have the option to choose between two different route lengths, approximately 5 km and 10 km, catering to varying fitness levels and preferences. Shorter distance options are also available upon request, allowing everyone to feel included and supported on their fitness journey.
Throughout the warmer months, WoRun explores scenic trails such as the Trans Canada Trail and National Capital Commission's Greenbelt, providing the opportunity for trail running enthusiasts to challenge themselves in a natural setting. When the snow falls, the club adapts by running through the neighbourhoods of Bells Corners and Nepean, ensuring that members can stay active year-round regardless of the weather conditions.
Membership at WoRun is open to all individuals without any registration fees, making it accessible to anyone looking to enhance their running experience. Additionally, participants of all running paces are welcome at the club, encouraging inclusivity and support within the community. As a special perk, WoRun members receive discounts and occasional rewards at Kichesippi Brewery on run nights, adding a touch of excitement to the weekly gatherings.
For convenient parking, WoRun utilizes the parking spots available in front of the Ottawa Fastener Supply Store at 2205 Robertson Rd, with limited parking available at Kichesippi Brewery.
