PRE-CONGRESS RUN-FOR-FUN

Wednesday, September 17, 2008
07.00–09.00
Join the run for fun in Old Montréal. Depart from the Clock Tower and run in the Old Port on a paved alley. See the St. Lawrence River on one side and the historic buildings of rue de la Commune on the other. Views to remember include Bonsecours Market, Sailor’s Church and the Museum of Archeology. McGill Street with its new condo buildings as well as the Downtown skyscrapers at the bottom of Peel Street can be seen from this back-and-forth route of 2.5 kilometers each way (3 miles in all). Offered rain or shine, the run is a great way to start the morning in beautiful Montréal.
Price: Free of charge to congress participants.
