Ottawa runners embrace the mess for a cause at Mud Girl Run race
Thousands of runners braving the dirt at the Mud Girl Run in Ottawa on July 27, 2025. (Camille Wilson/CTV News Ottawa) The Mud Girl Run took place in Ottawa this weekend, with thousands of women ranging from ages seven to 78 braving the dirt and grime. A five-kilometre walk or run welcomed women and girls of all fitness levels and physical abilities, collectively showing off their strength, ability and resilience through more than 18 muddy obstacles, inflatable slides and ropes courses. 'Push people to have a good time all together, especially girls... we decided to create one only for women, so they don't feel judged,' said Manon Marty, organizer of the Mud Girl Run. 'It's not a competition or anything. It's just gathering people, doing something fun, something empowering,' Jordan Appleby and Amanda Armstrong were having a mother-daughter day at the unique race. This is Armstrong's fourth year participating and Appleby's second. 'My mom's done it before, and I've always wanted to do it with her. This is our second year doing it together,' said Appleby. Facing obstacles, tight ropes and slides all while slipping and sliding through the mud, teamwork is a big part of the event. The women tested their limits while supporting an important cause, the fight against breast cancer. Since Mud Girl began, the event has contributed more than $400,000 to breast cancer organizations across North America and Europe. 'We both have a family friend who has breast cancer and has been fighting it, so doing it for her,' said Appleby. 'It's such a great cause,' says Armstrong. There's no time or obligation to complete all the obstacles, especially for those that don't favour the mud pits. 'I'm doing this with my daughter and our girlfriends and their daughters, just to show them that they are stronger than they give themselves credit for,' said participant Cat Janes. 'It's a really fun experience for anyone to do. Just having fun and supporting all the girls through this,' says Emmah Mckenny. 'I'm doing this for all women who have struggled with breast cancer and just for girls in general.' Mud Girl united with the Pink Army Foundation to amplify awareness, advance research and extend vital support to patients and survivors. The event's mission is to demonstrate that true resilience is built through life's toughest challenges and redefining what it means to be a fighter. 'I'm having so much fun. It's a blast' said Mckenny. At the end of the race, everyone receives a medal of participation, achievement and a sense of accomplishment before having a much-needed shower.

'I think I'm good': After injury scare, QB Vernon Adams Jr. returns to Calgary Stampeders practice
Vernon Adams Jr. was a full go at practice Sunday for the Calgary Stampeders. Article content Seemingly no ill effects of a hurt head after being sidelined by the Canadian Football League for the entire fourth quarter of Thursday's 23-21 loss to the visiting Montreal Alouettes at McMahon Stadium. Article content Article content And seemingly fit to start for the Stampeders (5-2) in this coming Thursday's visit to play the Ottawa Redblacks (1-6) at TD Place (5:30 p.m., TSN, CHQR 770 AM/107.3 FM the Edge). Article content 'Yeah … I think I'm good,' Adams said. 'We'll talk to the trainers again, and we'll see what's going on.' Article content The head injury happened when Alouettes defender Tyrice Beverette put a lick on Adams, with the quarterback trying to scramble for a first down late in the third quarter. Article content 'You know … I just took a hit — I think — from the side and kind of just rung my ear,' Adams said. 'And I saw the tape, obviously, where I got up a little wobbly. Article content 'But I felt like I was good enough to go back. But … you know … we've got to do the protocol and play it safe.' Article content Whether that means Adams is able to step in under centre for Thursday's rematch with the host Redblacks remains to be seen. Article content Remember one of the losses by the Stamps and the Redblacks' only victory of the 2025 CFL season came in their first meeting at McMahon — a 20-12 debacle in monsoon-like conditions. Article content Article content 'Yeah … I mean, he did do quite a bit (Monday) in getting himself back and was very positive,' said Stampeders GM/head coach Dave Dickenson, of his starting QB. 'And like I said, I think he has good energy. We do obviously let him handle it, as well as our medical people. Article content Article content Three other Stampeders injured during the contest didn't practise Sunday.

Article content 'We definitely had our share of muscle tweaks across the board — that was unfortunate,' added Dickenson. 'I need them in there. And you gotta not only play, you gotta play 60 plays. So we'll see how we can get the roster shaped up when the week ends. Article content
