The OTA Running Club, an initiative of the Ottawa Tamil Association (OTA), is a vibrant community program designed to foster physical fitness and camaraderie among Tamil Canadians in Ottawa. Founded as part of OTA’s commitment to holistic well-being since the organization’s establishment in 2014 as a not-for-profit entity, the club encourages participants to “Run Stronger, Thrive Longer” through regular group runs, training sessions, and motivational events that blend athletic pursuits with cultural connection. Open to all skill levels, it promotes endurance building, stress relief, and social bonds in the scenic Ottawa landscapes, aligning with OTA’s broader mission to empower the Tamil community via inclusive activities.

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death for Canadian men and women. So Ottawa Tamil Association (OTA) team is going to be riding the Heart&Stroke Big Bike to help create more survivors!
Research has shown that people of South Asian decent including Tamil Canadian community are at greater risk of developing heart disease and stroke – and at much earlier age – compared with other ethnic groups.
In addition to supporting Heart and Stroke foundation to develop lifesaving treatments, participating and contributing to Bike Big also raise awareness and choice of healthy lifestyle among Canadian Tamil community as well.
All of the money raised through Big Bike will go to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, where they’ll use it to develop life-saving treatments that bring hope to heart disease and stroke patients.
To participate as rider, please contact info@ottawatamilassociation.ca.
