a special "Discover Sherbrooke" route: a route that crosses the urban and natural spaces of our beautiful city!This 11 km running route begins with an interesting drop that you quickly forget as soon as you set foot on the magnificent trails of Beckett WoodsThere follows a gentle descent towards downtown Sherbrooke, passing through the magnificent Old North district and along the falls and the river in the city.The race finally ends on the beautiful, relaxing promenade in Jacques-Cartier Park.
A little advice from Mary-Lou, creator of the route: "It's an even more beautiful route when taken early in the morning, when the city is still sleeping... A chance to see the sun light up the city and to embellish what is already very beautiful! »

Located in the heart of Parc national du Mont-Orford, this course of about 55 km (to extend at your leisure!), meanders through the trees of the park, skirting 3 ponds and offering incredible natural landscapes!
With its rock dust surface and low drop, it's an excellent idea for a route to do with friends, in nature, to get away from the week!
