History

The idea for the Défi Pointe-Claire - Run with me originated from those moments when a child, a neighbor, or a friend says to their loved ones, "Run with me." Inspired by these spontaneous invitations that strengthen bonds between generations and community members, we wanted to create an event that celebrates this spirit of sharing and friendliness. By organizing a race accessible to everyone, we aim to encourage families and friends to come together, support one another, and promote an active lifestyle together. Thus, the event's name reflects our desire to see everyone invite their loved ones to participate and experience a rewarding event for the entire community.
