FAQ

Several treks are available, depending on the number of kilometers you wish to cover and the region from which you wish to depart. All routes have a registration fee and a fundraising requirement. The amount of the registration and fundraising fees varies from trek to trek. When you register, you'll have access to a toolbox to help you with your fundraising.

Each participant must register individually, but you can create or join a team. Each team member is responsible for raising the fundraising amount. To form a team, you need at least 2 participants, and there is no maximum number.

For first-time participants or cyclists under 40, a promotion is offered. This promotion reduces the fundraising amount by 30% for treks of 100 km or more. This promotion is valid for all cyclists who are new to the Tour CIBC Charles-Bruneau or under 40 years of age at the time of registration.

Depending on the trek you choose, you can see what's included in the registration fee. For all treks, you'll receive a cycling jersey bearing the Tour's logo, a water bottle, socks, meals, drinks, snacks, insurance in case of injury, supervision on the road and the services of bike mechanics.

Cyclists on the same route are divided into groups of up to 15 people.

The composition of the groups takes into account each cyclist's profile as well as any preferences expressed for riding with certain colleagues or friends.

The composition may vary from day to day in order to integrate new participants and best accommodate everyone's cruising speeds.

You will receive all the details about your group by email a few days before your departure.

Young people aged 13 to 15 can take part in the Discovery Trail only, accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.

The decision will be made by the Fédération québécoise des sports cyclistes (FQSC).

Teams wishing to ride together should be aware that faster cyclists will have to ride slower than usual and will be required to help other cyclists if necessary. If the pace of your peloton is not suitable, it will be possible to request a change of peloton.

Remember that the Tour is not a race, but a collective challenge where solidarity and mutual aid take precedence over performance.
