where to run
“One of the best places to run in Montreal is on the Olmsted-designed Mount Royal park, which is in the heart of the city and can be accessed from downtown. It’s a thrill to run to the “Croix”, the cross at the summit. Other pleasant running is along the Lachine Canal, and also along the St. Lawrence River through Old Montreal and the Old Port.“
