Run Ottawa's Annual 5K Light Run
Run Ottawa organizes an evening 5K light run in support of the Ottawa Food Bank. The event meets at Ottawa City Hall, Laurier Avenue entrance, and takes place on Thursday, December 10. Participants are encouraged to wear holiday costumes, lights, and reflective gear.
Runners and walkers depart in designated pace groups and follow a mapped downtown route; a route map is noted as coming soon and a Strava route is referenced. Participants are asked to follow pedestrian traffic rules while moving through downtown and to dress appropriately for the weather.
Donations for the Ottawa Food Bank are being accepted online. On the night of the event, non-perishable food items and cash donations will be accepted in person. The date may change if weather conditions are not favourable; attendees are advised that the schedule is subject to adjustment for safety.
The description focuses on the event format, location, charity partner, suggested attire for visibility, and the organizer's note about possible date changes due to weather. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
