Montreal Running: Old World Charm and Plateau Flats

Running in Montreal offers a high-energy urban experience, blending the cobblestone streets of the old city with the vast green spaces created for the 1976 Olympics. The major fixture is the Beneva Marathon and Half Marathon de Montréal. The course is celebrated for its manageable profile, utilizing long, flat stretches through the city's key districts and beautiful parklands, making it a favorite for runners seeking a relatively fast time in a scenic location. The route often guides participants through the historic Le Plateau-Mont-Royal and Villeray neighborhoods, offering a deep dive into the city's unique architectural and cultural identity.

The Olympic and Old Montreal Tour

A key feature of the course is its passage through or near the former Olympic Park and the vast, beautiful Parc Jean-Drapeau, built on an island in the Saint Lawrence River. These sections offer a break from the urban streets and a chance to enjoy the city's impressive civic infrastructure and waterfront views. The race culminates with a spectacular finish in the heart of the city, often near Place des Festivals, celebrating the strong energy and enthusiasm of the Québécois crowds.

In addition to the main marathon festival, the city hosts several smaller, highly popular races, including trail runs on Mount Royal and the popular Demi-Marathon de Montréal in the spring. Whether tackling the full distance to conquer the long avenues or enjoying the picturesque paths through the city’s historic core, running in Montreal is a charming, well-supported, and culturally rich Canadian adventure.
