Isabelle 's thoughts:

The Tour du lac Brome race is one of my favorite races and one of the oldest in the province of Quebec.

In 2016 it was the 36th edition of the race and it was a HOT one!

This race is in one the well know picturesque town of Lac Brome in the eastern Townships in Qc.

The race starts at the Lions Park and offers on site 200 feet huge parking for the racers to park before the race. As for most races in the province you can pick up your bib 1 or 2 days ahead of time in different locations .

The show exhibitors are always interesting and the after the race you can devour the duck meal which is included and offered by Canards du Lac Brome and and beer from Farnham Ale & Lager.
Yes the famous duck of Brome Lac.

Like I said the 2016 5km race was very well organized and it was hot day 30 Celsius before the race and they managed the heat with tons of water, Gatorade and water hosing station. They even offered runners cold water soaked towels at the end of the race with water bottles.

Course has flat and hills a and a surprise hill in the town for the 5km and it's well managed as Police stop the traffic for the racers of the 5km. Lot's of volunteers to show the way throughout the race.

Yes there is a band at the arrival of the race and the ambiance is great as they announce your name when the finish line.

Overall awesome race. There is a lady who has done each year the 20km of the Tour du lac Brome and everyone knows her here.
