Membership Benefits

Important notice for Run Ottawa Club members!

Fall running season is here and with it cooler morning runs and some great Run Ottawa Club events. For the first time in many years, we are also announcing an increase to our membership fees.

We need to make this small increase so that our club, which operates as a not-for-profit, can continue to offer great events all year long. This is our first increase since we were known as the National Capital Runners Association! We hope you will agree that our club is still one of the best membership values out there—and that we continue to help you reach your running goals.

So, what are the benefits of a Run Ottawa Club membership?

RACE ENTRY DISCOUNTS

Save on entry fees for most Run Ottawa events, including the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend! Just identify yourself as a club member when you register online to automatically receive your discount.

COACHED RUNNING PROGRAMS

Members have access to free coached programs for intermediate and advanced runners training for half and full marathons. We plan to expand these programs based on demand.

SOCIAL TRAINING GROUPS

Members have the opportunity to combine training and socializing at our low-key training runs every Sunday morning and Thursday evening . Meet other runners while improving your running!

On the first Saturday of every month, members can test their fitness and measure improvement at our club’s friendly and free 5k race series.
