Each lap begins on Avenue du Parc. Shortly after, the riders enter Parc du Mont-Royal and immediately tackle the Côte Camillien-Houde. The climb in the park is 1.8 kilometres long with an 8% gradient, followed by a steady descent leading onto a flat 1-kilometre section.
The second climb is the Côte de la Polytechnique, 780 metres long and averaging 6%. It includes a 200 metres section at 11%, the steepest part of each lap.
The route descends the Chemin de la Rampe before entering the wide Boulevard Edouard-Montpetit. A lefthander followed by two righthanders lead onto the Avenue Pagnuelo, an uphill of 534 metres at 7.5%. Following 500 metres on the flat the riders fly down the wide Boulevard du Mont Royal to the Avenue du Parc.
The riders continue descending for 560 metres before a U-turn forces them to a virtual standstill. Then, they climb the same 560 metres back to the finish line. This section has a gradient of approximately 4%.
Last year, Adam Yates attacked early on the final lap. Pavel Sivakov regained contact but was outpaced in the uphill sprint to the line. Current Spanish champion Alex Aranburu completed the podium.
