Race morning begins with a cool but pleasant temperature around 15°C to 23°C, though it feels like the average of 19.4°C. The sky is typically clear, with an expected humidity level of 78.5%. Bikers and walkers alike can enjoy these conditions as they navigate the course that weaves through fields and vineyards.
This event has been running for several years now, growing in popularity each year. In 2019, over 400 participants ran or walked, raising funds for local charities supporting education programs. The race is deeply rooted in the community of Saint-Paul-d'Abbotsford, bringing together locals and visitors to celebrate both sport and support important causes.
The course features a mix of flat roads and slight inclines through vineyards and along rolling hillsides typical of the region. Participants can choose from five kilometers or ten kilometers for either running or walking options, as well as a 21-kilometer option for those looking for a bigger challenge. The race starts at 7:00 AM in downtown Saint-Paul-d'Abbotsford near the town square and ends back there.
At start time, expect gentle breezes with an average wind of 10.5 km/h, which may make running slightly easier due to the cooling effect on your skin. However, stay hydrated as humidity levels can be high enough that you might feel more than just a slight discomfort during longer distances like the half marathon.
