August boasts comfortably warm, wetsuit-legal temperatures. The
quarter-mile run to T1 is lined with a soft red carpet, and cheering
spectators. The two-loop 180 km bike course runs through MontTremblant’s forests and low-lying mountains, offering challenging
elevations and highly spectator-friendly vantage points. The twoloop, 42.2 km run course takes full advantage of the famous Le P’tit
Train du Nord, a former railway bed turned into Canada’s longest
linear park. The crushed gravel, soft on the feet, will be lined with
enthusiastic spectators. The run takes runners past a waterfall
alongside Tremblant Lake and into the heart of the pedestrian
village of Tremblant Resort.”
