The 21.1 km route starts at Galeries Chagnon and winds through local neighborhoods before reaching Boulevard Guillaume-Couture.

The finish line for all races is located at Juvénat Notre-Dame in Saint-Romuald.
The 5 km, 10 km, and 21.1 km courses are measured to international standards and certified by Athletics Canada. Consequently, times achieved in the half-marathon are accepted as qualifying times for major events such as the New York City Marathon.
Specific time limits apply to each race: 4 hours for the half-marathon, 2 hours for the 10 km, 1 hour for the 5 km, and 30 minutes for the youth race.
