Shoppers Drug Mart® Run for Women - Ottawa 2026
The Shoppers Drug Mart® Run for Women is a community athletics event held at Hog's Back Park in Ottawa. The event's primary mission is to close the gender gap in mental health research and care by supporting The Royal. This initiative addresses the fact that women are twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with depression or anxiety and face specific barriers in accessing treatment for mental illness and addiction.
Participants can choose from a variety of event formats:
- 10 km Run
- 5 km Run
- 5 km Walk
- 1 km Little Steps
The event takes place at 600 Hog's Back Rd, Ottawa, ON. The schedule includes a communal welcome and warm-up session before the start of the specific race categories. Fundraising is a key component of the event, with proceeds directed toward improving access to mental health services for women and their families.
Registration options include individual entry, team participation through a corporate challenge, and gift registrations. Participants can also register as volunteers. Race kit pickup information is provided to all registered runners and walkers prior to the event date. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
