The Demi-marathon de Lévis Promutuel Assurance 2026 is a premier running event in the Chaudière-Appalaches region, organized by the Corporation Événements Course de Québec and Gestev as part of the "Je Cours Qc" series. Scheduled for Saturday, May 2, and Sunday, May 3, 2026, the event is a staple for the local athletic community, offering a fast and scenic course along the St. Lawrence River. Known for its high demand, the 2026 edition has already reached "Sold Out" status across its main public categories, reflecting its status as one of the most popular spring races in the province of Quebec.
The event is strategically split over two days to manage the high volume of participants. While the flagship half-marathon takes place on Sunday, the shorter distances and youth events define the Saturday schedule.

Lévis is a major city in eastern Quebec, Canada, located on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, directly opposite Quebec City. As of the most recent census data, the city has a population of approximately 150,000 residents. The demographic profile is remarkably homogeneous, with approximately 95% of the population identifying as Francophone and of French-Canadian ancestry. The city is characterized by its economic stability, driven by the Desjardins Group (headquartered there), the Davie shipyard, and a strong manufacturing sector. The median household income is significantly higher than the provincial average, reflecting a prosperous, middle-to-upper-class population.
The local culture is defined by active family living and a deep-seated "sportive" identity. Residents of Lévis are famously dedicated to outdoor activities, utilizing the extensive "Parcours des Anses" (a world-class bike and running path along the river) year-round. There is a strong sense of pride in the city's unique view of the Quebec City skyline, which serves as the backdrop for the race. The culture is one of rigorous discipline mixed with festive community spirit; it is common to see multi-generational families participating together, from the "Course des jeunes" to the half-marathon. The "Je Cours Qc" series has successfully tapped into this local passion, turning these races into major social milestones on the regional calendar.
Runners can expect a high-energy environment with professional logistics managed by Gestev. Despite the public categories being sold out, the organization maintains a limited number of "reserved bibs" for partners and special access codes. The "Pay your age" model for the youth 2km race remains a popular feature, encouraging early athletic development. As the countdown reaches 25 days, the focus shifts to packet pickup and final training. The course is famously known for its net downhill or flat profile, making it a favorite for those seeking a personal best (PB) in the early spring season, provided the weather remains favorable along the riverbank.
