Marathon de Rimouski Rimouski, Canada   Sep 7, 2025

Since its first edition in 2002, the Rimouski Marathon has earned a prominent place among the most important running events in Quebec and Eastern Canada.

The Rimouski Marathon ranks among the fastest courses in North America, while offering breathtaking views of the coastline. The course was measured according to international standards and is certified by Athletics Canada. Times achieved on the course can be used as qualifying times for marathons such as those in Boston or New York. The event is sanctioned at the GOLD level by the Quebec Athletics Federation.

All the Marathon de Rimouski’s events take place on back-and-forth courses along the Saint Lawrence River. The courses are entirely flat or have only short and gentle false flats, for a maximal vertical drop of 10 meters over the distance of the marathon. The first and last 5 kilometers are closed to vehicle traffic. Vehicle traffic is permitted on the remainder of the course, but it is light and travels at low speeds.
