How can you summarize 10 million square kilometers in just a few lines? Quite a challenge! Canada 🍁 is indeed the second largest country in the world, right after <a href="kavval://countries/6ff0029f-8521-45ff-9849-ab537e5b912d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Russia</a>. Its maple leaf is a symbol that stands out easily. But why the maple leaf? Because the tree and its numerous species are incredibly widespread in Canada. You'll get to taste the marvelous maple syrup as soon as you arrive in <a href="kavval://cities/28a2ef74-52a5-4b47-bc7b-b688a9e8e6f3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Toronto</a> or <a href="kavval://cities/9d54fd2a-2599-40a5-8efc-caa7faade85c" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Montreal</a>. Channel your inner <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Cartier" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jacques Cartier</a> ⛵️ as you head towards the New World. In the 15th century, this French navigator 🇫🇷 was on the trail of this legendary land, first discovering Newfoundland, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Saint_Lawrence" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Gulf of St. Lawrence</a>, the Magdalen Islands, and Prince Edward Island—all must-visit locations if you cross the Atlantic. The Gulf of St. Lawrence boasts the world's largest estuary, St. Lawrence River, which flows towards the cities of <a href="kavval://cities/cf163eb2-f82d-4690-a24a-58d4e894112a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Quebec City</a> and <a href="kavval://cities/9d54fd2a-2599-40a5-8efc-caa7faade85c" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Montreal</a>, both still predominantly French-speaking. Be warned, you might want to settle down once you start exploring. With only 38 million inhabitants spread across such a vast territory, there's plenty of space! The <a href="kavval://level1AdminAreas/ed9be2c8-ddc3-4c90-8080-b7048ca301e8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Quebec</a> province is one of Canada's ten provinces. Dive into its immense forests 🌲 and the banks of the St. Lawrence River. In <a href="kavval://level1AdminAreas/a9d086d7-26cb-4248-a87c-3d84456476bd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ontario</a>, cities like Niagara Falls, <a href="kavval://cities/28a2ef74-52a5-4b47-bc7b-b688a9e8e6f3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Toronto</a>, and <a href="kavval://cities/223ad46f-4f8c-484d-a9a7-7b4ee78c0507" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ottawa</a> are worth visiting. The iconic <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niagara_Falls" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Niagara Falls</a> is a must-see on your roadmap, right? ... Take note ⚠️, the capital of Canada is <a href="kavval://cities/223ad46f-4f8c-484d-a9a7-7b4ee78c0507" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ottawa</a>, not <a href="kavval://cities/28a2ef74-52a5-4b47-bc7b-b688a9e8e6f3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Toronto</a>. Toronto remains a super megapolis to visit, where you'll meet people from all over the world 🌍! In the land of groundhogs, another symbol of the country, there's no time to sleep! Other noteworthy provinces include Newfoundland and Labrador, a windy, wild land bordered by icebergs 🥶... The Province of <a href="kavval://level1AdminAreas/cd66e9fe-d034-4d82-8af6-bd04915ef067" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alberta</a>, known for its large glacial lakes and snow-capped mountains. The Banff and Jasper National Parks, connected by the legendary Icefields Parkway, offer stunning stops. You'll encounter a host of animals, some legendary: Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, antelopes, cougars 🐅, rattlesnakes 🐍, hummingbirds... Talk about escaping the ordinary! Surrounded by three oceans, after traversing plains, <a href="kavval://tags/lakes-ponds" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lakes</a>, <a href="kavval://tags/forest" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">forests</a> 🌲 and <a href="kavval://tags/mountain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mountains</a> ⛰, you can relax by the <a href="kavval://tags/seaside" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">seaside</a>, either on the east or west coast. Why not on the beaches of British Columbia facing the Pacific? <a href="kavval://cities/0da1491c-8ae4-4869-9bd2-56ff816a86e4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vancouver</a>, a film city, awaits your talent. Known for its high quality of life, this city is not to be missed. Lastly, let's not forget the <a href="kavval://level1AdminAreas/9f1a4962-3694-4b0b-b2dc-6bc17fcc2786" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Yukon</a> province where you can enjoy the midnight sun ☀️ in summer and the northern lights 🌅 in winter. The nature here is unbelievably beautiful in this far western part of the country, bordering the American territory of Alaska 🇺🇸.Whew 😅. So much to choose from when running in Canada with all these vast, beautiful areas... To get started, find the race calendar for&nbsp;Canada:&nbsp;<a href="kavval://pages/19c6236d-b5b7-431a-87ba-e50b74dcd383" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trail</a>,&nbsp;<a href="kavval://pages/5b49242e-6288-4e30-8649-74eb1ab8563f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">walking</a>,&nbsp;<a href="kavval://pages/baaef010-e9a4-4bab-9564-803d2d9d4f29" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">half-marathon</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href="kavval://pages/390ac20f-6103-4b2e-930e-b570ed852fb1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">marathon</a>... Let's start with a <a href="kavval://tags/city" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">city race</a>, and not just any: the <a href="kavval://events/b43d32b8-0b97-442e-9373-019b6ae5ae69" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vancouver Marathon</a>, which offers several race formats, including a <a href="kavval://pages/390ac20f-6103-4b2e-930e-b570ed852fb1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">marathon</a> relay. In the east, the country's flagship event, the <a href="kavval://events/38963ae9-ba03-466e-b73e-f66ab12ad6d9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ottawa Marathon</a>, is open to the whole family with kid and junior courses <a href="kavval://tags/kids" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">and shorter distances, in addition to the classic </a><a href="kavval://pages/baaef010-e9a4-4bab-9564-803d2d9d4f29" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">half-marathon</a> and <a href="kavval://pages/390ac20f-6103-4b2e-930e-b570ed852fb1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">marathon</a>. It's a great way to combine family vacations and running! In Quebec, the aptly named <a href="kavval://events/77035bff-8938-4aaa-81da-41f2954bc614" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chute Du Diable</a> is a trail race with diverse landscapes: you'll be running through <a href="kavval://tags/forest" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">forests</a>, along the <a href="kavval://tags/lakes-ponds" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">banks of the St. Lawrence</a>, and over <a href="kavval://tags/mountain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mountains</a>, all part of the <a href="kavval://tags/utmb-world-series" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">UTMB® World Series</a>! Choose your distance: <a href="kavval://pages/e491137f-198b-4414-a832-7aefb0439dec" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">short trail</a>, <a href="kavval://pages/4ce0ea33-aa06-4ed4-98b2-aa5ee46683e3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">long trail</a>, or <a href="kavval://pages/fe61e247-8c8f-4a66-b688-98099f2e8d75" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ultra trail</a>... In such a wild country, we have to mention one of the toughest races in the world: the trail <a href="kavval://events/b53a4c19-bb75-41e7-8755-4fcff00d95be" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Yukon Arctic Ultra</a>. Held in the freezing cold 🥶, sometimes at -30 degrees, and over insane distances, it's an event for the truly tough! How many races do you know that take place over several days and span over 600 kilometers <a href="kavval://tags/autonomy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">self-supported</a>? For the really tough ones... More accessible, the <a href="kavval://events/1d3b03f8-e284-4f7e-9682-2d3ab327a3a5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Toronto Marathon</a> even considers <a href="kavval://pages/5b49242e-6288-4e30-8649-74eb1ab8563f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">walkers</a> with an urban race that lets you enjoy the magnificent setting of the country's largest city and its <a href="kavval://tags/monuments" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">remarkable landmarks</a>.Attache ta tuque means "get ready" in Quebecois...
