• Walk around the entirety of Mount Royal, starting around Universite de Montreal and ending at the Tam Tams area

Tips:

• Fly out on Monday Morning - the race ends around 5pm, and its extremely difficult to get to the airport until 8pm. There are very few late night flights back to the states from Montreal

• Buy a seat cushion - if you are sitting on bleachers, this is a life saver

• Get to the track early - there is always stuff going on, and the lines to get in, get food, and get merch will be massively shorter in the first few hours of the day.

• Merch - merch is insanely expensive. Try to buy your stuff online well before the race!

• Food - You can bring in your own food and water to save a bit of money.
