ultra trail

Born of the woods. Shaped by the river.

You don't just pass through our region—you have to earn it

What can you expect?

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.

An ultra-marathon tailor-made for the start of the season: a mix of technical trails and fast-paced paths in the heart of a vibrant region.

Between the woods and the river, come earn your place in history.

  • A striking contrast: the silence of the woods, then the roar of the mountain.

    Phase 1: Approach

    A calm start to the race through the woods and pastures.

    Phase 2: Mountain

    A new lease on life awaits you when you arrive at the Vorlage Center: a vibrant atmosphere, cheers at every turn, and electrifying aid stations.

  • Option #1:

    We recommend that you go there with your friends or your crew. There will be plenty of parking spaces right on site.

    Option #2:

    A shuttle service is available to participants in the 86-km and 55-km races. To use the shuttles, you must reserve your seat when you register.

    IMPORTANT: The shuttle service is not mandatory. Please do not reserve a shuttle if you will not be using the service; seating is limited.

  • Teams are allowed and even strongly encouraged. At each aid station, you’ll find water, NAÄK products, and fruit.

    Phase 1: Approach

    It will be easy to drive from one aid station to the next. For traffic safety reasons, support crews will be allowed only in the aid station areas.

    Phase 2: mountain

    Crews are also allowed at both aid stations.

    TIKI BAR NAÄK: It may be possible for the crew to take the chairlift there (confirmation pending). (3 stops at this aid station)

    DROP BAG: Located at the base of the mountain, you’ll be able to drop off a bag with your belongings there.
