About the Beneva Montréal Marathon
Beneva Montréal Marathon is the full-distance centerpiece of a multi-race weekend. The point-to-point marathon crosses several city districts and finishes by Parc Maisonneuve rather than on its start island.
Course
The current marathon starts at Parc Jean-Drapeau and runs into Montréal before finishing near Parc Maisonneuve. Bridges, turns, and rolling city streets break up a route that is not uniformly flat.
Race-day weather
Early October in Montréal often starts cool and can warm through the morning. Rain and a headwind on exposed sections are realistic pacing factors.
