What if your next Qu\u00e9bec City adventure began right outside the Qu\u00e9bec City Convention Centre?<\/h2>\n \n
\n

As a passionate runner, I would like to share my favourite routes for discovering the city in a different way.<\/p>\n

These routes were designed for convention delegates and visitors to Qu\u00e9bec City. Between conferences, lace up your running shoes and set out to discover the city\u2019s iconic landmarks, from the Plains of Abraham to the St. Lawrence River.<\/p>\n

For me, running is a way to discover a city, reflect and recharge. I want to share my favourite routes so that you, too, can experience what makes Qu\u00e9bec City so beautiful. And when my schedule allows, I would be delighted to lead an outing with your group.<\/p>\n <\/blockquote>\n

Running Routes in the Heart of Qu\u00e9bec City<\/h2>\n \n
\n

Named Canada\u2019s most active city in 2026, Qu\u00e9bec City offers an exceptional playground for runners. Located downtown, the Qu\u00e9bec City Convention Centre is just steps away from several of my favourite places to run in the capital. Within minutes, you can reach Parliament Hill, the Plains of Abraham, the fortifications, Old Qu\u00e9bec, Dufferin Terrace and the St. Lawrence River.<\/p>\n

Choose your distance, lace up your shoes and set out to discover Qu\u00e9bec City.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
