Kickoff your season!
It starts here
Saturday, May 1, 2027, is the trail running event you won’t want to miss to kick off your season! We’re waiting for you with unique courses, a full lineup of activities, and an atmosphere you won’t soon forget.
A small mountain, big ambitions
The Trail des Collines (TDC) takes place at the Centre Vorlage, a ski and mountain bike resort currently undergoing a major transformation. Technical trails, plenty of elevation gain, and an XC-style course for maximum action—even for spectators.
Our Events
ULTRA TRAIL
A journey through a region that has shaped Quebec.
Here, since 1810, sweat, blood, and tears have flowed alongside the Gatineau River. A land of timber and hard work, the Outaouais has given rise to generations of loggers, pioneers, and trappers. Our ancestors traversed these hills in search of their riches—now it’s your turn to explore them.
CLASSIC DISTANCES
The courses are compact, there are lots of people, and it's noisy! It's an exhilarating experience for both participants and spectators.
Races ranging from 6 km to 32 km, packed with technical challenges, steep slopes, and a great atmosphere. An explosive and demanding format—perfect for kicking off a new trail running season.
COMBOS
Just like at a restaurant, we have combo deals. It’s THE best way to make the most of your weekend: trail races on Saturday and road races on Sunday.
Three possible combinations for a challenge that's just right for you.
THE TDC EXPERIENCE
Trail des Collines kicks off the trail running season in Quebec, and we don’t do things by halves. Get ready for a festive weekend to kick off your summer season on a huge HIGH!
Things are going to get lively at the top of the mountain! A massive aid station with a tropical vibe. This is THE spectator spot you won’t want to miss—with up to four passes per lap, you’ll be right in the thick of the action.
*Legend has it that in 2027, there will even be refreshments for the most enthusiastic spectators…
