Date

Overview

Choose distances from 3K to 50 miles on technically challenging single-track, gravel roads, and the Trans Canada Trail. The 21K, 30K, 50K, and 50-mile distances are recognized by both ITRA and the UTMB Index.

Highlights

  • Peak Fall Colors

    Run the trails at the height of Quebec’s spectacular autumn colours.

  • Relentless Single-Track

    Twisty, technical trails with roots, rocks, climbs, and descents.

  • Clifftop Lake Views

    Reach the summit, take in the lake views, then enjoy the descent.

  • Legendary Post-Race Feast

    Finish with Monique’s homemade food, cold drinks, and famous brownies.

  • No Cutoff Times

    Race at your own pace—50 milers may want to bring a headlamp!
