How to get to the race

This is the best way to commute—environmentally friendly and efficient!

The Jean-Drapeau metro station is located on the yellow line. Bikes are allowed on the Metro cars to get to the competition site. Once outside of the metro station, follow the signs to the Olympic Basin. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the metro. To consult the metro schedule, go to this link. For quick and easy access to the park, the metro remains the best solution!

From Montreal: via the Jacques Cartier Bridge or the Concorde Bridge (via Pierre-Dupuy avenue)
From the South Shore: via the Victoria Bridge or the Jacques-Cartier Bridge
