The routes traverse Montréal streets, incorporating the city’s architecture, parks, and landmarks. Habitat 67 is a notable sight along the course. Thousands of runners participate, supported by tens of thousands of spectators and hundreds of volunteers. The Pointe-à-Callière Foundation is the sole cultural organization participating, fielding a team to support museum access and educational programs for young people. Local descriptions rank the marathon among Montréal’s largest sporting events, comparable in scale to the city’s major sports festivals.
