Running + Turf in Ottawa

[Experience]

Running becomes easier to return to when pace and progression have a purpose. Coaching helps you understand when to push, when to recover, and how each interval builds greater capacity.

Running, reimagined indoors

This is not just time on a treadmill. Running + Turf uses pace, incline, intervals, music, and turf work to create coached sessions that support beginners, committed runners, and members looking for a more athletic conditioning day.

What is Running + Turf at Altea Ottawa?

Running + Turf is Altea Ottawa's coached running and conditioning studio at 1660 Carling Avenue. Sessions pair treadmill intervals with strength and conditioning work on the turf, so runners build speed and endurance while getting stronger in the same hour.

Which Running + Turf classes run at Altea Ottawa?

Walk to Run and Club Run for beginners and everyday runners, indoor 5K progressions for members training toward a distance, and HYROX-style formats that simulate race stations. Times are on the Altea Ottawa class schedule.
