Finding Running/Biking Routes

I'm going to Montreal for a day, and will have time to squeeze in a run. But I don't know the city that well, especially around the hotel... what would be a good route?

Went to mapmyrun.com's map search and found one!

Works pretty simply - you find an area on the map, zoom to a reasonable level, then ask it to find all the runs people have plotted in that area in the distance you're interested in.

I found a neat 10K that starts almost right at my hotel...

It's not a perfect interface - I had a little trouble with it hanging and not coming back with anything... but still a cool tool, once they get the kinks out it'll be very useful! Already is.
