Courons Gatineau : From one river to another
Courons Gatineau is organized by Gatineau Loppet and takes place on Jacques‑Cartier Street in front of the Quai‑des‑Cageux in Gatineau. The event honors the region's waterways under the slogan From one river to another and holds OR sanctioning from Athletics Quebec.
Available event distances include:
- 1 km for young children
- 2 km
- 5 km
- 10 km
- 15 km
The site features on‑site entertainment and a festive program with music and activities, and the celebration continues afterward in local bars and restaurants on Jacques‑Cartier Street. The start and finish area is located in front of the Quai‑des‑Cageux at 930 Jacques‑Cartier Street.
Organizers encourage public transit and active travel because parking is limited and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with the event. Bus 67 of the local transit authority serves the area and route planning tools can be used to create an itinerary. A supervised bike check is available on Como lane near the bag check, and parking is provided in Parc de la Baie with on‑site volunteers directing vehicles.
The event includes eco responsibility measures and offers an option to support the Garde‑rivière des Outaouais through donations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
