Event Details:
Join the Friends of Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge for the Run for the Refuge, a family-friendly event that combines fitness, fun, wildlife, and conservation. Whether you're a seasoned runner, casual walker, or simply looking for a fun way to spend time outdoors, there's something for everyone.
Participants can choose from our featured 5k Run/Walk, or the Otter Trot Fun Run, inspired by one of the refuge's most beloved wildlife residents. River otters are energetic, curious, and always on the move—making them the perfect mascot for a day dedicated to getting outside and exploring public lands.
