The Circuit BLEU BLANC BOUGE is a virtual run benefitting the Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation that will be held from Monday, June 22 to Sunday, June 28, 2020. Our goal? To walk or run – virtually together, but physically apart – a combined trail of 2,044 kilometres, connecting all 13 BLEU BLANC BOUGE rinks spread across Quebec.
Registration fees and additional donations will be used to purchase 4,000 active kits that will be distributed this summer to underprivileged children from the 8 BLEU BLANC BOUGE communities in Greater Montreal. Each kit will contain sports and protective equipment that kids can use to practise individual sporting activities, in order to encourage local youth to rediscover the joys of a healthier and more active lifestyle after several months of confinement.
What is a virtual run?
Our virtual run will take place during the entire last week of June, giving you the flexibility to choose a date, time and place that work best for you to cover the number of kilometres you have set as a goal for yourself. It’s also a great opportunity to put your running shoes on and to challenge yourself in a way that is beneficial for both your mental and physical health, all while supporting the Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation!

How can I participate? You can walk, jog or run a distance of 2 km, 5 km, 10 km or more, alone, with your family or friends, on your own schedule and at your own pace! You are free to complete your challenge all at once, or to break down the total distance over several days throughout the week.
Where? Anywhere! A virtual run can be completed at the location of your choice, whether in your neighborhood, on a hike or even on a treadmill — as long as you always stay 2 metres away from other runners and walkers and follow the advice of your local public health authority, to ensure you are keeping yourself and your community safe!
A few safety tips:
- Run or walk in locations that you are familiar with and that you consider safe, and avoid areas with a high density of cars, bicycles or pedestrians.
- Dress appropriately for the weather and make sure you are visible at all times, for instance by wearing bright-colored clothing or reflective accessories, especially if you go running when it’s dark out.
