The 5/15 Farm Run : Ottawa
The 5/15 Farm Run is a farm-based running event held at 960 Carling Ave, Ottawa. The event offers multiple race distances and supports The Ottawa Hospital Foundation. The route for 2026 is new. Registration generally includes chip timing, a finisher's medal for most entries, and post-race snacks. A Green Bib registration option omits the medal and redirects part of the fee to The Good Companions.
The available distances are:
- Kid's 1K
- 5K
- 15K
The venue is described as accessible by public transit, bike, foot and car, with onsite parking. Past participant reports note a scenic route around the Experimental Farm, multiple water stations, friendly volunteers and course adjustments due to construction. Reviews also mention hot conditions, exposed sunny sections and repeating laps on some course layouts, and some concerns about the number of portable toilets. Event logistics include on-site baggage check and optional paid add-ons such as an iTab ribbon hanger. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
