Start 2025 on the Right Foot by Joining the Annual New Year’s Run in Ottawa
Kickstart your New Year’s resolutions with a fun and meaningful event—The Brick’s annual winter run on January 4, 2025.
Every year, I look forward to this run—not just for the fitness boost but for the uplifting sense of community it brings. Starting at Lansdowne Park, the route takes you along Queen Elizabeth Drive and past the Dows Lake Pavilion.
If you’re doing the 1K, you’ll finish at the pavilion, making it ideal for families with little ones. The kids will light up when they receive their medals and adorable Brickley Bears at the finish line.
As for the 5K runners, you’ll receive a race kit featuring a sleek Running Room ¼-zip long-sleeve top and a medal to commemorate your achievement.
And don’t forget to dress up in a fun costume! Every year, the runner with the most creative costume will take home an exciting prize.

After the race, you can do other fun activities like the Photo Wall, while families can head to the Kids’ Zone. I’m definitely excited to get a celebratory drink at the mocktail bar or a non-alcoholic beer sponsored by Budweiser Zero.
