Boréal X-Country - Île Bizard
The 25th edition takes place on fine-gravel trails in a wooded area on Île Bizard, at the Centre socioculturel de l'Île Bizard, 490 montée de l'Église, L'Île Bizard, Montréal. The event offers several race formats for children and adults.
Distances offered:
- 1 km for children, out-and-back on rue de l'Église
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Combo 5 km + 10 km
The event includes access to a buffet at the sociocultural centre, with homemade food prepared by volunteers. The organization describes the event as eco-responsible with a strong community atmosphere. A themed gift is given to all runners. Medals are awarded to winners (top three men and women) and to the top three in each age group, and numerous prizes are provided by sponsors.
Note for the 5 km: the start is on Montée de l'Église, near the park entrance, about a ten-minute walk from the sociocultural centre. Mass starts are used and official time is based on the starting signal.
Note for the 1 km: the 1 km starts a few minutes after the 10 km start and at the same start location. Parents are invited to supervise or accompany children; participating children must be aged 4 to 11 on race day. All children receive a participation medal.
