Montréal’s sports teams and major sporting events score big in 2025
Once a year, for over five muscle-burning, perspiration-pouring hours, elite cyclists from around the world — competitors in the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, Summer Olympics and the like – bring peak athletic performance to, fittingly, the peaks of Mount Royal for the annual Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal, taking place this year on September 14. It features the best of the best of pro cyclists on a challenging circuit, and is one of only two Union cycliste internationale (UCI) world tour events in North America.
