Contest Info: !!!!HELMET MANDATORY!!!!

The first longboard endurance race (push race) in Montréal will take place during October 18th and 19th week-end.

This event is about touring the city of Montreal by joining each checkpoints setup at various strategic places. The suggested preliminary path which is 17 kms long (including 3-4 kms of downhill) emphasizes the use of bicycle lanes and is accessible to all levels. Bring a helmet (mandatory), gloves and a lunch if desired. The route takes about 1 hour to complete and checkpoints will not be revealed until October 16th.

The unofficial event will take place on Saturday, October 18th or Sunday, October 19th in case of rain on Saturday. The riders are expected at the subway station Université de Montréal at 9:30 am. The specifications of the final details of the race (yes, there will be surprises!!!), and final registration (payment, discharge, allocating numbers ...) will take place at this time. The race is scheduled to start at 10:30 PRECISE. At this moment, volunteers will already be in place.

If desired, a vehicle will be available to move any personal belonging directly at the finish situated in a park, whose location will be revealed on October 16th. We will eat together and then join the "Caserne" for a slide session (jam format).

The entry fee is $ 5 and ALL the money will be redistributed among the fastest riders (to be determined the day of the event according to the number of participants).

Depending on availability, some prices offered by sponsors will be drawn at random from the riders and volunteers to give everyone the chance to leave with something else than pleasure!



1st Place Finisher: Paul Kent (AB) - 57min
2nd Place Finisher: Maxim Garant-Rousseau (QC) - 57min
3rd Place Finisher: Simon Benoît (QC) - 57min
