Thousands of runners hit the streets bright and early Sunday for the latest running of the Montreal marathon.
The full and half marathon began on Île Ste-Hélène and ended at the Olympic Stadium.
Full marathon participants ran through the Village, up Saint-Laurent Boulevard to Gouin, back down to Saint-Joseph Boulevard and across to Maisonneuve Park.
Multiple closures were planned throughout the day, with most streets scheduled to reopen shortly after 2 p.m. That included portions of Saint-Laurent Boulevard, where the bulk of the marathon took place.
It was the 30th running of the Montreal marathon.
