Gaspesia Marathon 2025

Nestled in the heart of Percé, Quebec, the Gaspesia Marathon Series invites runners to embrace the sea breeze and rugged charm of the Gaspésie Peninsula. Winding roads and coastal trails offer a uniquely scenic backdrop, where every footfall is accompanied by striking views of Percé Rock and the azure waters beyond. Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner chasing a qualifier or a newcomer seeking an unforgettable first road race, this series offers an adventure that blends athletic challenge with natural beauty.

​

At the core of this event is a warm, inclusive community spirit that celebrates runners of all paces and backgrounds. From the energetic start line to the festive post-race gathering, you’ll feel supported by fellow participants and locals alike. Choose your challenge from the Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K, 5K, or the family-friendly Under‑5K event, and experience a race weekend that’s as much about camaraderie as it is about crossing the finish line.

Set against a coastal backdrop, the course follows certified paved roads through downtown Percé and along the shoreline, rewarding runners with sweeping sea views and crisp fall air. Bib pickup takes place on race weekend at the Percé community centre, ensuring a smooth start. Roadside spectators and enthusiastic volunteers line key points of the route, offering cheers and encouragement. A modest field cap preserves an intimate atmosphere—check the official site for registration limits and timing.
