Association with Quebec Mega Trail
- The male winner and the female winner of the 34km will receive a free registration for the QMT 50.
- The 2nd and 3rd positions men and women of the 34 km will have access to a guaranteed bib (paid) for the QMT 50, even if the QMT 50 event is full. (psst! Nice way to get a bib for this legendary race).
- If a 2nd and 3rd position bib is not claimed, it will be offered to the top 20 men (in ascending order) and top 20 women (in ascending order) until there is a taker.
- Bibs must be claimed before June 8, 2023.
All runners who complete the 34 km race receive one (1) ITRA (International Trail Running Association) point. Our race also qualifies for the UTMB World Series.

For the 10th year running, more than 1,000 runners and walkers are expected to take to the trails for a breath of fresh air at the Duchesnay Resort.
You’ll start off on the same trails as the 8K, but you’ll split out of the loop at the La Halte hut to link up with the Coureur des Bois trail (number 58). You’ll climb for about 2 km before starting a gradual descent. When you reach kilometre 8, you’ll link up with the winter cross-country ski trail, which is wider, but not necessarily any easier. This will lead you back to La Halte, where you’ll link up with the 8K loop again.

This course follows trails 55, 56, 57 and 54 before finishing up in front of Caribou Pavilion. Keep your eyes peeled for a bunch of tree roots, tree trunks and wooden bridges that can catch even the most vigilant runners off guard.
