West Ottawa Run Club

Sunday July 19th!
Temperatures are looking cool at 17 and sunny. Who's excited for some heat reprieve! 🤞it won't be too muddy from Saturday's showers, but even if it is - we're in the trails right? Just try not to slip (like me a few weeks ago 🫣)

😀 Also FUN FACT! Pizza 🍕 is back on Sundays 🎉🙌

15.6k Long Run:
Headed south into the greenbelt forest. We will cross Hunt Club Road, and do a loop in the Jack Pine area and come back.

July 15th is going to be a hot one, so please remember to hydrate throughout the day. The shade will feel lovely though!

**Please let us know if you are able to volunteer to pick up signs after the run, BEFORE we head out **

5km Route: Follows the same streets as last couple of month’s route to the forest. Once on the pathways we are going left. Then we are weaving around the greenbelt pathways, back around to behind Bell High School, back down the hill to Stinson Ave. and a right along Lynhar Rd. back to Whiprsnapr brewing co.

5km route: https://connect.garmin.com/app/course/372568624

10km Route: Starts out the same as the 5km route but goes further south within the greenbelt to do a much larger loop. Once out of the woods, will loop around Bell HS and another small loop in the neighbourhood.

For anyone who's still reading, we are looking for volunteers to help pick up signs after the run. Please let us know if you're available. Your name will be put into a draw for a pair of Shokz headphones (valued at over $150 😉) at the end of the summer!

We did a bit of an alternative route yesterday due to the large amount of water on some of Jack Pine trails. I think we all enjoyed escaping the sun in the forest.

Sunday July 12th official July route! Back to the trails for some much needed shade. It's going to be another sunny one this week so don't forget your sunscreen and hydration (and fuel if you require it). This route is also a good one alter the distance if you need to.

It was a beautifully, sunny, hot and humid evening Wednesday. The trails were pleasantly shaded and a bit more technical this month for a fun kick 😃

Thank you everyone who came out and yay for the power being restored at 6:30pm. Yay for the July heat that we've been waiting for!

Sunday July 5 Long Run Route, meet at for 10am!

Unfortunately due to the massive amount of rain we got, we are unsure of the conditions of the trails at the moment. So we are going to stick with the classic 15.6km route North on to the River Pathway. Run down the pathway towards downtown, and turn around at the Deschenes Rapids Lookout.
