Wheelchair athletes may participate in the marathon, half-marathon and 10-km race events, which will take place on Friday, 4 August 2006 on a closed circuit. The course is located on Ile Notre-Dame at the Gilles-Villeneuve Formula 1 racetrack, a site as popular for major events as for recreational pursuits such as cycling or in-line skating. The site is in close proximity to downtown Montréal.

Québécoise d'ahtlétisme.
There are no affiliation or membership requirements
for this sport.

- Mr. Stéphane Fortaich, Assistant-Coordinator for Marathon

- Mr. Marc-Antoine Deschamps, Medical Support
International
Association of Athletics Federations
(IAAF) rules will be used.
The 1st World Outgames endorses a healthy and fair approach to sports training and competition. Sport events in the 1st World Outgames are sanctioned by provincial, national, and in some cases, international sports governing bodies. In order to adhere to the rules of these sporting federations and to guarantee that the Outgames are run in a fair and just manner, GLISA and the Outgames have adopted the policy as set by the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES), and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
Consequently, all athletes competing in the 1st World Outgames must adhere to GLISA’s position on drugs in sport and may be required to undergo drug-testing. We encourage all participants to become familiar with this policy.
The objective of the 1st World Outgames in this regard is to provide an experience where all athletes are able to compete in a safe and welcoming environment, without discrimination of any kind. Our priority is to find the appropriate balance to ensure that no person, regardless of their birth gender, is disadvantaged in athletic competition and at the same time that no person participating in the Outgames experiences discrimination.
GLISA and the 1st World
Outgames have collaborated so as to develop a
policy that reflects this balance. We encourage
all participants, especially those who have identified
themselves as ‘transgender’ in the registration process, to become familiar with this policy.
All events will start early
in the morning. For health and safety reasons,
there will be a five-hour 30 minutes time limit
to complete the course for those running the full
marathon distance.
Age categories are the same for both men and women,
who will compete separately.
Sunday, 30 July from 16 :00 to 19 :00 – Information Meeting
INTERNATIONAL FRONTRUNNER GATHERING : You are invited to participate in a special event to be held at Club Sandwich, 1578, rue Sainte-Catherine East. Prizes for attendance, special guests and more await you! Free passes will be available in advance of the event.
For more information about these events, please contact Dave McConkey at sunshyne@nexicom.net

The competition schedule
will be posted here after the close of the registration
period in April 2006.
