Desjardins Great Big Cookie Run

Register

For over 20 years, we’ve been proud to bring you Ottawa’s one and only cookie run! This is a provincial fundraiser dedicated to raising funds for Girl Guide campership subsidies for all of Ontario. Grab a friend and join the community for this fun, yet fast, 5K and kids 1K at Lansdowne Park!

In an effort to offer participants the opportunity to reduce their environmental footprint and support their community, Run Ottawa has a Green Bib option at registration. The Green Bib does not include a medal, instead, $10 of your registration fees go to local Girl Guides of Canada groups.

All participants can also make a donation to local Girl Guides of Canada groups at the end of the registration process. Thank you for your support!
