The first event of the season, the Metropolitan challenge is for those of you who like to ride and who, depending on your form and mood of the day, can choose to go easy or light on a non-timed course of between 57 and 156 kilometers. Each year, the event visits a new corner of the greater metropolitan area.
This year, we look forward to seeing you on May 25, 2025, starting from Brossard in the Montérégie region.
Vélo Québec’s Défi métropolitain is back in 2025 with an edition full of energy and discoveries! Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or a fan of scenic rides, it’s the perfect event to kick off the season. Several routes, suitable for all levels, will take you through the beautiful landscapes of the Greater Montreal area.
Join us on May 25, 2025, starting from Brossard in Montérégie, for the next edition of the Metropolitan Challenge.
Montérégie at your own pace, without a stopwatch! Between 57 and 156 km of pure pleasure, in the heart of varied landscapes. Departing from Brossard, we’ll ride to Chambly, then Sherrington, before returning via Saint-Mathieu and Candiac.
