About Les Courses Thématiques

Starting out with the Tour du Lac Brome run in 2007, the team acquired the Dix30 Cup circuit in 2013. After a year under that name, the organization changed its name to the Courses Thématiques in 2015 at the request of the cities where the races were held. Since then, the Courses Thématiques organizers have made a name for themselves, and the events have continued to grow in popularity despite a competitive landscape. The team has continued to add new events and expand existing races over the years.

The organization owes its success to the team of runners, administrators, organizers and consultants from the racing community who have years of experience in organizing these races. These top-quality events are a mark of the team's ongoing success.
