The 16th annual Canada Army Run took over downtown Ottawa on Sunday.
This year's run, with almost 13,000 participants, raised more than $200,000 for Soldier On and Support Our Troops.
Since 2008, the event has raised more than $4.5 million for the two charities, which support Canadian Armed Forces members, their families, and the ill and injured.
The event featured 5k, 10k, and half-marathon runs.
Kathleen Bowser and her 14-year-old son Calum took part Sunday.
"I have done this for the past 15 years because my father is military," Bowser said. "It's nice to expose the younger generation to it. It's just important to pay our respects."
The event was moved to November last year following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, but it returned to its September date in 2023.
