Greetings from Chicago! I’m completely new to the boards, but I’ve come in hopes of getting some info from the locals on ideal places for a nice long run (10 mile, 16k). I’ll be staying in Montreal for a week in June to celebrate turning 29 again 
and at the time, I’ll be knee deep in my half marathon training. While there, I’ll be doing a couple of short runs (4-5 miles, 6-8k or so) and the long run. From the searching I’ve done so far, it sounds like Mont Royal is a must see, although it’s got some steep inclines. This canal I read about, is that the Canal Lachine? Any parks you’d suggest, trails, paths, whatever, would be helpful.
I’ve never been to Montreal before and honestly, I don’t even know what the terrain is like. Coming from Chicago, I run on nothing but flat, flat land.
Also, since anyone reading this is most likely active in general, I’m also going to look into any other outdoor activities like bike rental, hiking, and some water activities (rafting maybe?). If you have any words of wisdom to add, that’s appreciated as well.
Thanks you guys!
Katie
