Marathon Duchesnay-Québec
Marathon Duchesnay-Québec takes place 24 and 25 October 2026 near Québec. The event groups several races on forested routes and on a military base, with a finish to the season framed by autumn colours.
Distances include:
- 42.2 km Marathon on Vélopiste Jacques-Cartier, 70% stone dust, 30% tarmac
- 21.1 km Half marathon on a linear, flat forested route
- 10 km Course on a military base, flat and fully open terrain
- 5 km Flat sprint on the military base
- 2.5 km Short flat course on the military base for beginners and families
- 20 minutes Kids race on a loop of about 500 m, run as many laps as wished
The marathon uses a closed circuit on the Vélopiste Jacques-Cartier and is World Athletics homologated; it can be used as a qualifying time for larger marathons. The half marathon is described as linear and rapid with a flat profile. Shorter distances take place on the military base and are presented as flat and fast. The event has been fully subscribed since its debut, and the venues emphasize wooded scenery and a rolling, nature-focused environment.
