RUNCLUB
Ontario’s women-only run club is back for Season 03. Every Saturday, sisters across the city lace up and move together — fast, slow, or somewhere in between.
Free. No sign-up. Just show up.
—— WHAT IS SISTERS RUN CLUB
RUNNING IS BETTER WITH YOUR SISTERS
Sisters Run Club is SFC's free, open-air community run — no gym required, no membership, no barriers. We meet at a new spot around Ottawa every Saturday, warm up together, and head out as a group.
We've run for women's heart health alongside the Ottawa Heart Institute. We've wound through the ByWard Market and along the Rideau River. We've welcomed beginners who have never run a step in their lives — and we've pushed competitive runners to new PRs. Every single week, the only rule is: come as you are.
This is Season 03. The club keeps growing. Come see why.
100% Free
No registration fee. No membership required. No catch. Just show up.
Women-Only Space
The run is outdoors, but the energy is ours. Every route is selected with comfort and safety in mind.
All Paces, Always
Three groups: fast run, slower run, and walk. No one gets left behind. No pace is the "wrong" pace.
Purpose-Driven
We run for fun, fitness, and community — and sometimes for a cause. Past runs have raised awareness for women's heart health.

PICK YOUR PACE
Three groups: fast run, slower run, and walking. No pressure. Join the group that feels right — or switch it up week to week.

REFUEL AND CONNECT
After the run, the group heads somewhere nearby to refuel, decompress, and connect. The sisterhood doesn't stop at the finish line.
—— MORE THAN A RUN
WE RUN WITH PURPOSE
3KM for Her Heart ❤️
In Season 02, we partnered with the Ottawa Heart Institute Foundation and JUMPin Canada for a special charity run dedicated to women's heart health research. Sisters brought their moms, aunties, besties, and grandmas. We moved. We raised awareness. We showed up for each other and for women who need it most.
This is the kind of run we do when the community comes together.
If you're a brand, cafe, or organization that aligns with our mission, we'd love to hear from you.
