Once again, Canadian Forces members, friends and supporters are taking to the streets in the capital Sunday for the 18th annual
Canadian Army Run
.
The popular fundraiser event raised an estimated $400,000 last year, bringing the total raised in all events to more than $5 million.
The weather looks pretty awesome with clear skies and a forecast high of 22 C with no rain in sight.
If you’re heading down for the action, here’s a list of roads blocked during the event.
