Participants then take Dunes Street, Notre-Dame, Résurgences, Montmorency, Royale avenue, Vallée Street and Des Chutes Boulevard.
 

The Descente Royale course is 100 % downhill, from start to finish. The difference in level is 140 metres over 10 kilometres (1,4 %).

On the course, markers will be set out on the right side of the street, in descending order, to indicate every kilometre.
