Ottawa Lions Track and Field Club

A reminder for all members to signup for Monday night's Annual General Meeting. We look forward to seeing everyone virtually

After everything that has happened over the past year, it's more important than ever to talk. These are far from easy times we are living in and we must remember it's okay to not be okay. #BellLetsTalk

We’ve collaborated with @outrun.mtl, an eco-conscious Canadian sportswear brand, founded by a former Lion sprinter, to create headbands to help you stay warm during your winter workouts! Their headbands, that can double as neck warmers, are Canadian-made out of an eco-polyester blend. Every headband sold = 1 planted in areas of the that need it most. Check em out!

Nationals are coming to the nation's capital!

Congrats to Divya Biswal on being named to the coaching staff @dartmouthtfxc

The Ottawa Lions will host their Annual General Meeting on February 1, 2021.

As we near the final hours of 2020, a look back on the past 12 months from Executive Director Richard Johnston and a little preview of what lies ahead in 2021.

2020 will be a year we won't forget any time soon. Here are your favourite posts of the past 12 months.

As we get set to embark on a new year, one quick look back at the best performances of 2020.

We wish the circumstances were different. We wish we could connect with our friends and family via hugs rather than via Zoom. But most importantly, we wish good health to all we know.

Some big thanks go out to Richard and Jess for cleaning the track prior tonight's practice. Couldn't do what we do without their tireless efforts @dbiswal

Good luck to Lion alum Iain Valliere as he goes for the title of Mr. Olympia tonight in Orlando, Florida. @sean.burges / @mundosportimages

Before we kick off our Top 10 OFSAA XC performers, we wanted to give a special shout out to Coach Kirk Dillabaugh and the tremendous work he has done in turning Glebe Collegiate into a provincial powerhouse. https://www.ottawalions.com//lions-top-10-ofsaa-xc-perfor/

Got an early start to the Christmas decorating. Going to miss the Holiday Relays this season.

Happy Thanksgiving! This year has certainly been a difficult one, but we still have so much to be thankful. We give thanks to our coaches, our athletes, our officials and everyone else who continues to support us in all our athletic endeavours. We wouldn't be here without you

Happy birthday to these two amazing people! The past seven months have been a whirlwind to say the least and we wouldn't be at practice today if it wasn't for their tireless efforts. Take a minute to find them and wish them the happiest of birthdays today! Thanks Richard and Jess!!!
