As the Ottawa Race Weekend approaches, we’re excited to announce our Character Running Team comprised of friends and family. Together, we’re rallying behind a cause close to our hearts: supporting the University of Ottawa Heart Institute in honour of our good friend Eric Chamois. Last February, Eric faced a life-altering moment when he experienced a sudden cardiac arrest, leading to triple bypass surgery. Despite the challenges, Eric’s resilience and determination have been inspiring. Through unwavering willpower and sheer perseverance, he has not only regained his strength but is now gearing up to conquer his first-ever 5K run. In partnership with our good pals at Kichesippi Beer Co., we’ve created some slick looking running hats to help reach our fundraising goal.

50% of the proceeds from every sale of our running hats will be donated to supporting the vital work of the Heart Institute.
