Tour de l’Île Montréal 2025 Map: Routes, Date & Schedule

Cycling through Montreal on car-free streets sounds like a dream, but for one Sunday each June, it becomes reality: the 40th Tour de l’Île de Montréal on June 1, 2025, closes miles of roads to vehicles, letting thousands of riders experience the city from a completely new angle. Whether you’re aiming for the full 50 km or the family-friendly 30 km, having the official route map in hand (or on your handlebars) makes all the difference.

Event name: Tour de l’Île de Montréal ·
Edition: 40th ·
Date: Sunday, June 1, 2025 ·
Distance options: 30 km or 50 km ·
Organizer: Vélo Québec

Seven key facts about the event, one pattern: the route stays car-free, with two distance choices and digital maps ready to go.

What is the route for Tour de l’Île Montréal 2025?

50 km route details

• Start location: Parc Maisonneuve
• Rest stops at Parc Don-Bosco and Parc de la Promenade-Bellerive
• Entire route uses car-free streets

The 50 km loop takes riders through east-end neighborhoods and along the river, with two designated rest stops for refueling. The catch: the exact turn-by-turn sequence hasn’t been published as a single ready-to-print PDF, but the digital map on Google Maps shows the full path.

30 km shortened route

• Shorter option designed for families and casual cyclists
• Also car-free, starting from Parc Maisonneuve

What this means: riders who aren’t ready for 50 km still get the full car-free experience on a more manageable loop. The pattern repeats — digital map available, but no standalone printed map for the 30 km option.

How long is the Tour de l’Île Montréal 2025 route?

50 km full distance

The main route covers 50 km, with rest stops at Parc Don-Bosco and Parc de la Promenade-Bellerive. This is the traditional distance for the event.

30 km family-friendly route

The shorter 30 km loop retains the car-free experience and starts from the same point at Parc Maisonneuve. It’s designed for families and casual cyclists.

The implication: both distances are available, so riders can choose based on their comfort and fitness level.

Where can I find the official Tour de l’Île Montréal 2025 map?

Official Vélo Québec map on Google Maps

• Route viewable on Google Maps (mapping platform) via the official Vélo Québec participant page
• Direct links from the participant page

The organizer publishes the route on Google Maps so you can zoom, pan, and load it on your phone. No need to download a separate app — just open the link.

Ride with GPS download option

• Community-uploaded 50 km route available on Ride with GPS since May 18, 2025

The implication: if you prefer using a dedicated bike computer or GPS app, the Ride with GPS version gives you turn-by-turn directions offline. It’s not official, but it matches the published route.

The pattern: having multiple map formats means you can choose what works best for your device and riding style.

What time does the Tour de l’Île Montréal 2025 start?

Start time for 50 km route

• Event date: Sunday, June 1, 2025 (Vélo Québec Discovery page)
• Exact start time not yet published from official source

Start time for 30 km route

• Same date; start time also pending

The pattern: the Discovery event (a related ride) has staggered starts from 7:00 a.m. to 9:15 a.m., so the main Tour likely follows a similar window. Check back on the official participant page closer to June 1.

The catch: without a confirmed start, riders must stay vigilant and monitor the official page for updates.

How to access the route map

1. Visit the participant page and scroll to the map section.
2. Click the Google Maps link to view the full route on your browser or phone.
3. For offline use, open the Ride with GPS route on the Ride with GPS website and follow their download instructions for your device.
4. Optionally, print the traffic circulation PDF from the official page for a static map.

Why this matters: having the map pre-loaded avoids data issues on event day, especially since large crowds can slow mobile networks near the start area.

What is the schedule for Tour de l’Île de Montréal 2025?

The event timeline shows key milestones for participants to track.

The implication: the route has been available since May, giving riders ample time to prepare and download maps.

What we know and what remains unclear

The balance tilts toward confirmed facts, but the official sources cover the essentials: date, distances, and start area. Riders should watch the Vélo Québec page for updates.

For cyclists in Montreal, the choice is straightforward: the 40th edition offers either a 50 km challenge with rest stops at Parc Don-Bosco and Promenade-Bellerive, or a 30 km family loop. Both are car-free, both start at Parc Maisonneuve, and both can be loaded through Google Maps or Ride with GPS before June 1. The implication: download your map now, check the official page for the schedule release, and show up early — or risk missing the start wave.

Cyclists can view the official Tour de lÎle Montréal 2025 map with 30 km and 50 km routes on Google Maps or download it via Ride with GPS.
