    Living in Montreal, I've known about this before it was announced officially, but I thought it might interest some BQ chasers from further away. This year will be first edition, so no runner feedback yet.

      I didn't realize it is a trail run too. I hope it's successful! Smile

        That is so awesome!  I hope I can it run it!

        I used to do consulting work for a client in Laval, and loved every minute I spent there.  Being in Montreal is being in a whole different world!!!

          it's a rail-to-trail, packed dirt/gravel surface.  Should be a blast, and the scenery sure is beautiful.

              Yep. No hill a train could not climb so it should be smooth. The run portion of Iron Man Mont-Tremblant is done on that trail (it's a loooooong trail).

               

              The only thing I'm worried about is the start. A rail trail isn't that wide, so I'm afraid there will be traffic in the beginning. But maybe they thought of that and came up with a strategy to minimize it.
