Mild 51°F temps at gun time mean comfortable early miles without overheating risk. Temperatures rising to 63°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

Race Info

The Quebec City Half Marathon starts on Rue de l'Exposition beside Place Jean-Béliveau and follows the Saint-Charles River on its bike path to the Vieux-Port. It then climbs through Old Quebec onto the Plains of Abraham, the only real hill of the day, before dropping to Boulevard Champlain and the St. Lawrence waterfront. The course passes the Porte Saint-Louis and the Château Frontenac, then returns along the river and through the streets of Limoilou to finish near Place Jean-Béliveau. It runs on the Sunday of race weekend and the course is certified by Athletics Canada.
