Race courses

swim course

The event kicks off with a 750m/1.5km/1.9km or a 3.8km swim in Bassin Louise, surrounded by yachts and the charming Vieux-Québec!

bike course

The multi-lap bike course is historic in its own right, as it is the only time in the year that the highway is closed for an event. Athletes will experience an out-and-back ride along the St Lawrence River, featuring picturesque views of Île d’Orléans and Québec city.

run course

The run takes participants on a flat course through more than 400 years of history in a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Athletes will explore Québec, followed by a scenic run along the Rivière Saint-Charles. Finishing along alongside the unique and exceptional Port de Québec Marina!
