The COURONS spirit

Because running isn’t just about a start line. It takes shape long before, and carries on long after.

Goes the distance

COURONS exists to bring running to life beyond the events. We unite a community that shares more than kilometres: tips, habits, challenges, stories, and the drive to keep moving forward together.

When a whole city starts to run

Twice a year, an entire community lines up at the same start line. A moment where paths cross, challenges come to life, and a shared love of running brings everyone together.

The signature fall event, where thousands of runners come together to experience Montréal in a whole new way and celebrate the journey that got them there.

The event that kicks off the running season and marks the return of training, goals, and the first kilometres of spring.

These iconic events have become much more than races. They’re moments where everyone comes to celebrate their journey and experience running to the fullest.

Putting our expertise to work for other events

Organizing a running event means thinking through every detail: the course, safety, participant experience, volunteers, and all the logistics that bring an event to life.

COURONS puts its expertise in the service of organizations looking to create events that are inclusive, human, and true to their vision.

Between start lines

A race lasts a few hours. Everything else is built in between. That’s where progress happens, confidence grows, and the next race takes shape.

That’s why COURONS supports you with tools, tips, and resources designed for every runner.
