Check out the picture of the festival de la sante 2001with in front of the pack : Peter Doucet(Mogema Canada), Nick Esposito(EmpireSpeed), Barry Publow(Mogema Canada), and Eddy Wilcox(EmpireSpeed), all working to get away from the main pack......

For security reason the www.festivaldelasante.com have decided to shorten the course for the race of the festival de la sante held on may 19th 2002. Instead of a 36km course, a 22km course will be the official elite race for that event. We invite you to go check the course on the website, essentially the same, we turn around at IRWIN street on ST-PATRICK and going back downtown Montreal. For the rest of the course, it is the same. For any comments or questions please write directly to me, I will be glad to help. SEE YU ALL on the Jacques-Cartier Bridge.
