History of the Ottawa Physio Race

The Ottawa Physio Race was first created as an initiative of the Ottawa District of the Ontario Physiotherapy Association in 1988 order to raise awareness about physiotherapy and to raise money for the Physiotherapy Foundation of Canada. A handful of dedicated physiotherapists volunteered their time and hard work to put the race together, and it is clear that it has paid off, as we are here today, 22 years later, and bigger than ever!

Since its beginnings, many aspects have evolved, and like any fledgling, we’ve had a few bumps along the way, but it is clear that we are definitely here to stay! We have grown enough over the years to be able to raise funds for a new recipient charity every year, as well as continue to support the Ottawa District (now the Eastern Ontario District) of the Ontario Physiotherapy Association and the Physiotherapy Foundation of Canada.

As our numbers continue to grow every year, we continue to strive to spread awareness about physiotherapy and to provide an opportunity to give back to the community. We welcome anyone who wishes to get involved, physiotherapist or not, to help perpetuate this great initiative!
