Randonnees Autour De Sainte Catherine - Sainte-catherine

Randonnees Autour De Sainte Catherine is a November walking series in Sainte-Catherine, a Quebec city in the Montérégie region on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River. It is built around randonnée-style walks rather than a single running race, with 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 km options, allowing participants to choose from a short community walk to a longer day on foot. The exact November date is still to be confirmed. The local setting is shaped by water: the Saint-Régis River runs through Sainte-Catherine, and the Saint-Pierre River crosses the city’s southern edge before meeting it. Sainte-Catherine sits in the Roussillon regional county municipality, near the Montreal suburbs, in an area occupied for more than three centuries. The city’s name honors Kateri Tekakwitha, and its modern civic history runs from a parish municipality to city status after a population boom. The community was also affected by a major ice storm, which remains part of its recent local history.
