What can you expect at Ultra-Trail Harricana™ of Canada? To run like a wolf and free your wild!
From the 1-km kids’ race to the 125-km course that attracts elite athletes from here and abroad, including the popular 28-km and legendary 65-km runs, the Ultra-Trail Harricana™ of Canada has the right challenge for you. At this race in the heart of the Canadian wilderness, you’ll find out just how far your legs (and heart) can take you. You’ll reach new summits while experiencing something completely unique.
Produced by Carol-Anne Pedneault, an artist from Isle-aux-Coudres, the 2020 Ultra-Trail Harricana™ yearly visual symbolizes the solidarity of the UTHC with the wolf pack and their communion with other members of the forest such as birds, whose cries are sent high and far into the skies.
With the slogan “Ensemble, plus loin / Together Further”, Ultra-Trail Harricana™ wishes to reflect on the ways in which members of the trail running community can collectively help one another in getting through the COVID-19 pandemic.
This theme will be an opportunity to put forward the values that are already part of the very DNA of trail runners; sharing, openness, mutual help and respect.
The Ultra-Trail Harricana™ is an international-caliber trail-running event attended by the largest pool of elite runners in Quebec. Over the years, the trails have been run by athletes from nine Canadian provinces and more than 26 countries. The 125-km distance is the only race in Canada included in the prestigious Ultra-Trail World Tour.
Charlevoix is an authentic, nature-centered tourist region, set between the river and mountains, that is famous for its breathtaking views and unmatched gastronomic and artistic creativity.
Professional photographers have been carefully selected. They are located at strategic spots along the race courses to capture your most memorable moments.
