JOURNEY
For the first time since the TDC was founded, the courses will remain unchanged for 2027. This is your chance to test yourself and measure your progress early in the season. Our loops are carefully designed to make the most of the mountain: elevation gain, technical challenges, and spectator areas filled with excitement.

The heart of the trail is a long, 16-kilometer loop that winds its way up the mountain. Two side trails allow for shorter routes without adding more trails.
LOOP A: All routes start together. After about 6 km, the runners take the first exit toward the main site.
LOOP B: Same start as Loop A and the main loop. After about 11 km, a second exit leads the riders back to the main area.
LOOP C: This is the full, long loop, without taking the 6-km or 11-km exits.
32 km
One of the toughest categories at the TDC: two laps of the legendary Coupe Québec loop. A distance-to-elevation-gain ratio worthy of the greatest ultra-trail races.
2x Loop C / Distance: 31.8 km / Elevation Gain: 1,550 m / Refreshment Stops: 8
22 km
An intermediate distance that’s anything but easy. A series of technical challenges, but smoother than the 16km or 32km races. It all takes place in the ski resort: it’s the perfect playground to test your endurance, work on your climbs, and soak up the atmosphere to the fullest.
2x Loop B / Distance: 22.2 km / Elevation Gain: 1,108 m / Refreshment Stops: 5
16 km

Quebec Cup events in 2026 and 2027.

A challenging yet accessible race featuring a technically demanding course early in the season, covering a more manageable distance.

The perfect course for getting into the spirit of trail running—or for those who love to run fast! A smoother, less steep loop that still offers a few technical challenges.
