The Tour de l’Île de Montréal offers you the simple joy of biking through the streets of a car-free city and celebrating, in your way, a momentous return. Let’s join family and friends to participate in a wonderful parade of happy cyclists and experience a dream Sunday pedaling freely through the heart of the city.

The Tour de l’Île has modified its format and registration conditions in order to adapt to the current context. It will take the form of a 33 km car-free ambulatory route through the streets of 8 Montreal boroughs. The route will be completely closed to motorists for the duration of the event – from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm – so that you can finish your loop in the same place you started.

Choice of start location and time
To ensure the smooth flow of cyclist traffic and proper distancing throughout the 33 km, there will be no specific start/finish site. When registering, you will have to choose a start site from the 8 access points along the route, as well as a start time between 9:00 am and 11:00 am.

Of the 8 access points where you can start and finish, only three parks – La Fontaine, Champdoré and Maisonneuve – will offer the following services for cyclists: toilets, water, handwashing stations, INFO booth and first aid.

Along the route
To provide encouragement and brighten up your excursion: along your route, you will encounter Lait au chocolate and surprise activities presented by Desjardins, including a unique ride into the Olympic Stadium.

In the 3 parks designated as access points with services – La Fontaine, Champdoré and Maisonneuve – you will be able to use the rest areas to picnic with your family and friends and access the services offered.

Have a mechanical problem? Sports Experts mobile mechanics will be biking on the route and volunteers assigned to bike mechanics and first aid will also be there to help you.
