BougeBouge Marathon and Verdun Festival
The BougeBouge Marathon and Verdun Festival takes place on 12 September 2027 in Verdun, Montreal, at Grand Potager. The event combines a road running program and a local festival with musical performances, a shake-out activation featuring a mobile DJ on a bike, a mega Zumba session, a Try-It-All Circus, and athlete massage services.
The event offers multiple distances:
- 1 km
- 2 km
- 5 km
- 10 km
- 21.1 km
- 42.2 km
The course follows the bike path along the river and uses loops for longer distances: the half marathon requires two loops and the marathon four loops; runners are responsible for counting their own laps. The event is sanctioned GOLD by Athletics Quebec; the 5 km, 10 km, 21.1 km and 42.2 km distances are certified by Athletics Canada and the marathon is recognized as a Boston Marathon qualifying course. Aid stations and restrooms are available along the course. Organizers recommend carrying a hydration vest to reduce waste.
Registration details include group discounts, online payment options, a price range for tickets, and a policy that race tickets are non-refundable unless the organizer cancels the event. Online registration closes ten days before the race for bib personalization; personalized medals are available only during online registration. The finish area has a left corridor for finishers and a right area for runners continuing additional loops. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
