LA CLASSIQUE D'ATHLÉTISME DE MONTRÉAL 2025,
THE PERFECT CANADIAN NATIONALS REBOUND
Montréal, june 10 2025
La Classique d'athlétisme de Montréal, back for its seventh edition, will once again be the big post-National championships rebound meet.
The Classique returns on Wednesday, August 6, three days after the end of the Canadian Para, U20, and Senior Championships, held in Ottawa from July 30 to August 3. As is often the case, once the challenge and pressure of the championships have subsided, Canadian and international athletes will step on the Claude-Robillard track in search of a season-best performance, a personal best, and valuable qualification points for the World Championships in Tokyo in September.
The Classique will once again offer substantial prize money and performance bonuses. Competition records, which are higher with every edition, are also rewarded.
Let's take a look back at some data from the last edition, held on June 21, 2024. No fewer than 85 Canadian athletes from outside Québec were registered, representing 19.5% of all participants. We also had 59 athletes registered from outside Canada, representing 13.5% of the total number of participants from 23 different countries.
Finally, thirteen (13) athletes who reached the podium at La Classique had qualified for the Paris Olympic Games.
Our new meet director Martin Angel and the organizing crew from the Saint-Laurent Sélect club await for you on August 6, either as participant, spectator or volunteer. Another Classique rendez-vous not to miss for fans looking for high level track and field on Canadian soil.
