Montreal

Montreal's running scene centers on flat riverside routes: the Lachine Canal towpath is the de facto long run, and the Demi-Marathon Lachine follows it for the full 42km alongside the St. Lawrence. Cyclists climb hard into the Laurentians north of the city (300–500m elevation gain per ride) or loop the island's perimeter on dedicated bike paths; the Challenge Esprit Montreal triathlon covers 112.7km and draws the region's serious endurance athletes.
