WHY WE RUN

For children who need heart care

Chestnut Run has brought people together for more than thirty years to raise money for children who need heart care. It runs on the same weekend in dozens of countries: one cause, thousands of starts.

Ottawa's first start gathered 80 runners, volunteers and families by the canal. The Ukrainian Community of Lanark County organized it with LifeCapital Global.

In 2027 Ottawa runs again, on Kyiv Day. Register now and we will write as soon as the date and the route are confirmed.
