West Ottawa Run Club

Last Sunday Long Run of August!!! We're at that beautiful time of year when the mornings are so crisp and cool, it feels like you can go on forever after suffering in the heat all summer long! Should be a beautiful morning long run!

15k Long Run: August’s route is going to start out similar to last months route, but we will be hanging a right off Trail 26 to go over Moodie Dr., we will run through Beaver trail area, over to Lime Kiln ruins, back across Moodie, do a small loop in the Jack Pine trails, and then back to the brewery.

It was a beautiful Wednesday evening for a run. The sun was out and the air was cooling off. The mosquitoes also didn't start bugging us on the patio till the sun was well set as well. Hope everyone had a wonderful evening and we will see you Sunday!

🫣Yes it's the start of 'the talk'... the headlamp and lights talk. September is the month where we start off in the light, and finish off in dark. If you don't know where your trusty headlamp and lights are it is time to start searching for them and throwing them into the car for Wednesday evenings. From this point forward we lose ~13 mins of daylight ever week. Lets stay safe out there everyone and we need lights to both be seen and to see! 🔦

This is the last week for our August Bruce Pitt loop. Here's to a wonderful late August run for Wednesday August 26th.

5km Route: South on Lynhard Rd, left on Stinson Ave, through the park, in behind Bell High, over the 416, than a loop of the pond in Bruce Pit. There will be no signage on this route, please be aware of where the pond is and that you need to follow it back out.

10km Route: Follows the 5km route but does an additional kms in the Arlington Woods neighborhood and than returns back on a pathway in Bruce Pit. Please note this is a slight variation from the 10k route we have done previously.

Well it was a wet one this morning, but of course we were also ready to head out and to get the run started - today was one of those days where getting out the door was harder than the actual run. Kudos 👍 to everyone!!! We were fairly waterlogged, but still full of smiles at the end.
