Défi À Votre Rythme 2026

Défi À Votre Rythme is a run-or-walk event at Parc de l'Ile-Lebel on rue Notre-Dame in Repentigny, Quebec. It offers 500m, 1km, 2km, 5km, and 10km distances, so children, adults, competitive runners, and people joining for fun can all pick a distance that fits them. The event has been held since 2013 and is organized by Fondation Santé Sud de Lanaudière to raise money for the oncology department at Hôpital Pierre-Le Gardeur. The 10km race is made up of five loops, while children can enter the 500m or 1km races. The event was formerly called Course à Votre Santé and carries a Bronze sanction from the Fédération québécoise d'athlétisme. The site also includes booths and a kids' zone with inflatable games, face painting, and surprises, which makes the day more like a family fundraiser than a runners-only meet. The previous edition had 512 finishers, with more women than men crossing the line.
