In partnership with the City of Pointe-Claire, the Pointe-Claire Canoe Kayak Club is organizing the "Défi Pointe-Claire: Run With Me" race to promote fitness and community spirit through a family-friendly annual running event. The event includes different running distances to accommodate various age groups and fitness levels.
With bib pickup scheduled from 6:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m., participants will explore Pointe-Claire, including Valois Park, Sunnyside Park, and the beautiful Terra-Cotta Natural Park! Whether jogging for fun or running to beat a personal record, participants can take on distances of 1, 2, 5, 10, or 15 km. The objective for the 2025 edition is to host over 1,000 runners from all over Quebec.
The race will be held on June 15, 2025, beginning at Valois Park. Start times depend on the length of the race, so be sure to check the website for details.

All funds raised through the Défi Pointe-Claire - Run With Me will go directly to the Club de Canoë Kayak de Pointe-Claire. The club will use the funds to support its athletes in competitions and training camps. The club, which is the largest competitive canoe and kayak club in Quebec, is home to over 160 athletes and 20 experienced coaches who participate in more than 20 competitions and training camps annually.
