Celebrated as one of Canada’s most scenic and festive running events, the Beneva Quebec City Marathon 2025 invites participants to experience a condensed tour of Quebec City’s rich heritage and architecture. The marathon course traverses three boroughs and nine districts, showcasing landmarks such as Old Quebec, the Plains of Abraham, and the picturesque St. Lawrence River waterfront. All race courses are certified by Athletics Canada, making them valid qualifiers for major events like the Boston Marathon. The weekend kicks off with bib pickup at the Je Cours Qc Expo at the Centre de foires de Québec on October 3 and 4. Races commence on October 5, starting with the full marathon at 8:00 AM, followed by the half marathon at 9:35 AM, the 5K at 10:00 AM, the 10K at 11:00 AM, and the kids’ 2K race at 1:30 PM. Participants will enjoy a festive atmosphere with live music, enthusiastic crowd support, and post-race celebrations at Place Jean-Béliveau.
