Held on August 23, 2025, the Piopolis International Triathlon is one of Quebec’s most scenic and community-focused endurance festivals. The event includes discovery, sprint, Olympic, and half-long triathlons, a triathlon for children, and 5K, 10K, and half marathon running options. Known for its friendly atmosphere and signature course that briefly crosses the Canada–U.S. border during the bike leg, the event highlights Lake Mégantic’s pristine shoreline and the surrounding forests and rolling hills. Athletes enjoy chip timing, well-marked courses, local volunteer support, finisher medals, a post-race meal, and optional shuttle services. Hosted by Courses Nature and supporting La Bouée, a nonprofit that aids women and children affected by domestic violence, the race is as socially meaningful as it is physically rewarding.
