Duck and Run Ottawa 2026

Duck and Run Ottawa brings a community fun-run format to support wetlands conservation in Ottawa. The event welcomes participants of all ages, with run, walk, roll, and waddle options built into the day.

It’s a small, family-friendly outing at Wesley Clover Park in Kanata, with a 10:00 a.m. start and same-morning sign-in. Each registered participant receives a commemorative medal, and fundraising is part of the event’s core experience.
