15 km Sun Life au pied du Mont Saint-Hilaire

About the Event

The 15 km Sun Life au pied du Mont Saint-Hilaire returns to Mont-Saint-Hilaire in Quebec, Canada on November 8th, offering a challenging course that starts at the base of this iconic mountain and winds through the town's picturesque streets. The race venue is set in the heart of Mont-Saint-Hilaire, just off Route 193 near the entrance to Parc du Mont-Saint-Hilaire. Race morning sees participants gather under clear skies with temperatures around -1°C, creating a crisp autumn environment that adds to the race's atmosphere.
This event has been running for over ten years and has grown in popularity each year, attracting hundreds of local runners along with visitors from neighboring regions. The 15 km course supports the community through contributions made towards scholarships for young athletes participating in various sports programs within Mont-Saint-Hilaire. It is a significant event that brings together residents and newcomers alike to celebrate both physical achievement and local pride.
The race takes place on a hilly route with several notable features, including steep ascents up to the mountain's base followed by a gradual descent back into town. The course begins at the Mont-Saint-Hilaire Town Hall and concludes near the Parc du Mont-Saint-Hilaire entrance, providing scenic views for both runners and spectators alike. On race day, participants will experience winds of 13 km/h that can make running feel more challenging than it might otherwise be. The humidity levels are around 76%, which adds a layer of moisture to the air but does not detract from the overall enjoyable atmosphere.
