The 5/15 Farm Run is a popular evening race held annually at Ottawa's Central Experimental Farm, featuring a 1K Kids Fun Run, 5K, and 15K races. The event gets its name from the 5:15 PM time when cows at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum head to pasture, offering a unique running experience.

Runners of all levels can participate, enjoy scenic farm routes, post-race refreshments, and community connections. Options include a Green Bib, which excludes the medal and supports the CHEO Foundation. Additional items like technical shirts and kids' cotton shirts are available as add-ons.
