Olivia 's thoughts:

Overall, this is a solid option for a spring half marathon, if that is your goal.

The race is at the end of April but in Montreal, that's still pretty cold. 90% of participants are not running fast enough to be in shorts at this time of the year ;)

The course is quite flat and includes two loops of the race track circuit on il notre dame and parc jean drapeau. The scenery is great on the park island and its pretty cool the first time running on the race car track circuit. It's easy to get to the race by metro or by car and parking is usually a flat $20.

Aid stations are pretty standard but a bit sparse at times due to the chilly weather and t-shirt/swag is pretty standard but usually includes a coupon for a sponsor that can be used at the store on race-kit pick-up day.

The post-race spread is really nice with fresh Montreal bagels (yay, carbs!) and sponsored by Oasis so juice/smoothies and the standard yogurt + fruits etc.

"Expo" is simply packet pickup at a running shop in Montreal, but is usually pretty streamlined and organized. I've run this race twice as a birthday gift to myself since I'm born at the end of April and it hasn't disappointed me yet :)
