About this Event

About the Event

We’re thrilled to announce the return of the Amazing Youth Worker Race on Thursday, October 9, 2025! This exciting event brings together over 100 youth workers for a full day of connection, learning, and fun.

The Amazing Youth Worker Race offers participants the opportunity to explore youth-serving organizations across the city, using public transit to navigate their way. The event is designed to strengthen knowledge of local programs and services, while also fostering collaboration and community among youth workers.

Teams of four will race across the city, tackling challenges and learning about services along the way. Prizes will be awarded for both individual and team achievements, with bonus prizes for team spirit and participation.

The day begins with an Agency Fair at the starting point—an excellent chance to connect with even more community resources.

We encourage everyone to bring a non-perishable food donation in support of the local food bank.


Want to Participate in the Agency Fair?

Do you have someone from your organization who’d like to be part of the Agency Fair at the start of the event? Ideally, this person is not participating in the race—but if that’s not possible, that’s okay!

To sign up, email us at [email protected].


Organized by the AYWR Committee

Brought to you by a collaborative team of dedicated youth-serving organizations:

  • BGC Ottawa– Youth Outreach Workers
  • Algonquin College
  • John Howard Society of Ottawa
  • Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa
  • La Cite Collegial

We can’t wait to see you there!
