The Lachine Half Marathon team is delighted to count you among the participants for this 15th edition.

In addition to the funds raised through our fundraising efforts, a portion of the event’s profits will also be donated to our partner charities: the Alzheimer Society of Montreal, the SPCA Montreal, Easton Project and AlterGo.

Prepare your experience from start to finish. Whether you’re planning your race, your travel, reviewing logistical details, or getting ready for race day, you’ll find all the essential information here. From bib pickup to course routes, including schedules and the site map, everything is in place to help you make the most of your event.

Happy training and have a great race!

Bib Pick up

To make your experience as simple and enjoyable as possible, we have set up several bib pickup locations in different areas.

This approach helps reduce wait times and offers greater flexibility, allowing you to pick up your bib at the time and place that suits you best. Plan your visit and start your experience with peace of mind.

Please note that booking an appointment does not mean you can skip the line. Kindly join the queue and wait for your turn.

NO race-day pickup will be allowed, without exception.

ARRIVAL ON SITE

Upon arrival on site, please use only the entrance located along Chemin du Canal and proceed through the security checkpoint.

Before heading to the starting line on October 18, take a moment to review the site map to locate the various facilities and services available.

You will find, among other things, portable toilets, water stations, the bag drop area, as well as the Family and Exhibitor Zone.

STARTING LINE

From the 1 km to the 21.1 km, get ready to experience the race at your own pace, in a dynamic and motivating atmosphere. Check the start information for your distance and make sure you’re ready to cross the line with confidence.

DURING THE RACE

Respect the Race Course

Please remain within the designated race area at all times. Under no circumstances may participants enter the emergency lane, which is clearly marked by cones throughout the course.

Any participant entering the emergency lane will be immediately disqualified.

Overtaking

When overtaking, participants are encouraged to clearly signal their intention so that those ahead can yield and provide sufficient space. Participants must wait until it is safe to pass, without compromising their own safety or that of others.

We ask participants to avoid spitting, sniffing, or blowing nasal or respiratory secretions when running near others.

Volunteers will be on site to guide you along the correct routes, and color-coded signs for each distance will also help you navigate the course smoothly.

Water Stations

In accordance with Athletics Quebec’s refueling guidelines, the first water station is located 3 km from the start and every 5 km thereafter. The refill station aims to reduce the use of plastic bottles.

Water Station Parc Summerlea (51st Ave)
Water Station Parc Fort-Rolland (39th Ave)
Water Station Parc Noël-Spinelli (27th Ave)
Monk Island Water Station
René-Lévesque Park Water Station
Finish line water station
Water truck filling station (Parc René-Lévesque)

AFTER THE RACE

Medals

Medals will be awarded to runners at the finish line. Each participant will receive a medal corresponding to the color associated with their distance. Volunteers will also be on site to assist you if needed.

Results

Results will be posted on our supplier’s website, MS1.

If you wish to dispute a result, please follow the procedure outlined directly on the results platform. The Demi Marathon de Lachine team is not able to modify results; therefore, all requests must be submitted through MS1.

Snacks After Race

After receiving your medal, please make your way to the post-race refreshment tent. We kindly ask that you take only one serving of each item, out of fairness to all participants.

Thank you for your patience—you will be many!
