Sign up for the Quebec City (Half) Marathon

because the marathon might interfere with my trip to Europe this summer. Will check.

On August 29, 2010, the SSQ Quebec City Marathon will present the 13th edition of the biggest international sports event in Greater Quebec City and one of the most popular in Canada.

With more than 75% of the course running along the shores of the St. Lawrence River, this marathon takes participants on a scenic route like no other! Starting on the south shore, runners cross the historic Quebec Bridge and finish in the heart of Old Québec.

1. Marathon (42.2K);
2. Half-Marathon (21.1K);
3. 10K Race;
4. Kids Run (5K reserved for 7- to 14- years old)

There is also a fundraising walk: the Health 5K.

Walking or running our Marathon represents a physical and mental challenge that over 41,000 people have taken up since it was first held in 1998. These runners have come from more than 330 Québec municipalities, every Canadian province and more than 70 countries.
