About the race
Course-marche Centraide de la Ville de Montréal takes place on October 1, 2026 at Parc Jean-Drapeau. The event uses a new course and the start is located at the circuit Gilles-Villeneuve. Participants will pass by horticultural sculptures created by Mosaïcultures internationales de Montréal and the program includes a nod to the 50th anniversary of the Montréal Olympic Games.
On-site options include the following distances:
- 5 km race
- 3.5 km walk
The event schedule includes a participation prize draw after the on-site activities. The first 900 people who collect their bib will receive a running scarf. A parallel remote challenge called À ton rythme runs from October 5 to 18 and asks participants to complete five hours of physical activity over two weeks; participation can be individual or in teams and activities may include walking, running, cycling, swimming, soccer or pickleball. Combined registrations for the on-site events plus À ton rythme are offered at a preferential combined fee only at initial registration.
Organizers set a participation target of 2 000 people and a fundraising target of CA$100 000. One hundred percent of funds raised will be donated to Centraide du Grand Montréal. The events are aimed at City of Montréal staff, elected officials, retirees and paramunicipal personnel. Parc Jean-Drapeau is listed as a partner.
