A breathtaking view of the St.Lawrence river awaits as runners reach the summit of Mont Grand-Fonds.
This event takes place on a fast-paced course starting with the ascent of Mont Grand-Fonds leading onto the Orignac trail toward La Montagne Noire.
The race kicks off with the ascent of Mont Grand-Fonds for a little over 300 meters. Are you up for such an explosive start? This course is challenging and diverse in nature, some of its legs can be completed rather fast while others are extremely technical (you might as well feel as if you’re dancing sometimes).
