It’s a go for the Montreal Marathon!

Today is the start of the Beneva Montreal Marathon!

Let’s put on our running shoes, grab our water bottle and let’s go! There are courses for everyone, from 1 km to 42 km!

The important thing is to participate. As Alexandra, one of the ambassadors of the event, says so well:

When I participate in a race, I get passed, but I also surpass myself, that’s all that matters.”

Athlete Charles Philibert-Thiboutot shares the role of spokesperson with Alexandra.

For Charles, running is a job, but he is impressed by people who run despite having no time:

People who, despite a demanding job, family obligations, despite lack of resources, manage to train and run 5 km, 10 km, 21.1 km or even 42.2 km in the Montreal Beneva Marathon. I run twice a day, my days are totally dedicated to training, recovery and rehabilitation.
