9runrun 2025
Nestled in the vibrant community of Stittsville, the 9runrun series is more than just a race; it’s a celebration of community spirit and support for our local heroes. Each year, runners and walkers gather from far and wide, drawn by the opportunity to support the mental health initiatives for Ottawa's dedicated first responders. Whether you’re looking to set a personal record or simply enjoy the camaraderie of running with others, you’ll find an event tailored to your needs. From a Fun Run to a challenging Ultra Marathon, there’s something for everyone.
The sense of community is palpable, with fellow participants, volunteers, and spectators lining the charming streets and cheering you on every step of the way. Held amidst the stunning autumn setting of Village Square Park, the races are designed to cater to a range of abilities and interests, including categories like 5K and Trail. Join us and experience the warmth of a community coming together to make a difference.
The 9runrun course takes runners through the picturesque roads of Stittsville. With a mix of well-paved surfaces, gentle elevations, and community landmark views such as the Trans Canada Trail, runners will enjoy both the challenge and beauty of the route. The event is well-supported, featuring enthusiastic volunteers at bib pickup locations and strategically placed aid stations, all while maintaining a manageable participant cap to enhance the experience.
