Walkers
Fast walking is considered a separate discipline, so there will be a medal ceremony on the podium. We ask participants who register as walkers not to do running intervals on the course, i.e. not to run and walk alternately.
FAST Walking
Walkers are welcome at Les Courses Thématiques for distances less than 15 km. Walkers have their own start and medal ceremony.
Awards Ceremony
The top 10 male and top 10 female walkers in the final ranking will receive a free bib for a future event. Additionally, the top three will receive a cash prize, and the 4th and 5th place finishers will receive sparkling wine. A special award will be given to a walker who has achieved a remarkable performance, regardless of age, at the end of the season.
About the 5 km Walking Championship
La série des courses thématiques in partnership with the athletic walking section of the Vainqueurs plus club offers a 5 km walking championship including an exclusive top 10 men's and top 10 women's ranking.
Walkers must participate in the 15 km Sun Life au pied du Mont Saint-Hilaire and at least 2 other events in the series if they want to participate in the final ranking. You will therefore be able to participate in 8 events (excluding Course NDL Sun Life and Tour du Lac Brome Sun Life) among the 10, but the ranking will retain your 3 best performances. This will work using a pointing system. Note that the score will be doubled at the final event of the 15 km Sun Life au pied du Mont Saint-Hilaire.
This championship is supervised by certified coach Jocelyn Ruest from the Vainqueurs plus club, responsible for the ranking and the smooth running of the walking competitions.
End-of-Season Gala
To highlight the performances of our walkers, an end-of-season gala will be held during the 15 km Sun Life au pied du Mont Saint-Hilaire
