Marathon Beneva de Montréal
Marathon Beneva de Montréal is a rolling marathon in Montreal, Canada, held each September. Starts on Île Sainte-Hélène and works a demanding urban loop across the island to a Parc Maisonneuve finish — more undulating than its river setting suggests.

The rises around Montreal are small but relentless — train on similar terrain and race by effort, not pace.
