Russell Run | Russell Run Club Run, Drink, Repeat! This is a one-mile fun run for runners who enjoy beers. Drink a beer, run/walk/jog (or skip, crawl, whatever you want) your way a quarter mile around the track, and repeat three more times. There will be opportunities for those who do not wish to consume beer. And a team relay is...

Congrats to all of the runners who participated in ORW! You rock!

Run wild with optimism this Sunday! Our practice is cancelled to encourage racing, volunteering, and cheering. Good luck, runners!

It feels like summer is here! We had a warm and sunny run yesterday!

Heads up! The Half-marathon at Ottawa Race Weekend has a new start time! 8:30 instead of 9:00.

Plus, there are some last-minute course changes to the Marathon course. Check the link!

If you go to the ORW website, you have to click on "Races", then the Marathon to get the updated course map. For some reason, it's not under the "Courses and Maps" tab🤔. Or just look at ot on this link through racepoint. (It's not the map you see here)

Sorry, but our usual Thursday run at 6:30 is cancelled. It doesn't happen often, but n one is going out tonight.

Due to extra slippery conditions, our group run has been cancelled tonight. Stay safe out there!

Announcement: The Tuesday and Thursday evening meet-ups will be outside the Clocktower Pub, 418 Richmond Road at 6:30 pm. This is a change from meeting at the Starbucks!

Most of our Tuesday night runners have decided against running tonight. If you decide to go out, there may not be anyone at Starbucks to meet up with. It's a blustery one! Stay safe!❄🌬🌨
