Photos that show Rock ‘n’ Roll Montreal’s gruelling heat

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Montreal Marathon race weekend was held in unseasonably hot conditions on the weekend.

The marathon was cancelled because of the heat and humidity, an announcement made a few days ahead of race day, and the half-marathon, 10K and 5K went ahead as planned. An estimated 20,000 runners from 50 countries ran in one, or multiple events, on Saturday or Sunday.

Check out a selection from the race’s photo gallery that gives a visual of the gruelling conditions. Understandably, spray stations were a big hit on course.
