Ottawa Frontrunners is a running club for members of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered (GLBT) community and friends. Located in Ottawa, Ontario, it is Canada's national capital chapter of International Frontrunners. We have runners of various ages and skill levels and typically have groups going between 5 and 10 km (3 and 6 miles) at various paces. Walkers are also members of the club, consisting usually of runners on the injury list and partners or friends of runners.

Runs are held Tuesday evenings at 6:30 pm, followed by coffee, and Saturday mornings at 9:00 am, followed by breakfast. We meet at the Lisgar Street entrance of City Hall, 111 Lisgar, and usually run along the Rideau Canal, though alternate routes take us to the Ottawa river and often across into Gatineau, Quebec. Runs take place in all types of weather, from –35 °C in the winter to +35 °C in the summer (–30 °F to +95 °F, respectively), rain, sun, or snow.
