The Midnight Moose Ultra is a night-time ultra-trail race with distances of approximately 25km, 50km, 100km and 160km across some of the toughest running and mountain-biking trails in the Gatineau Park. Using only headlamps and the light of the moon, participants are challenged to complete the race before sun-rise (for the 50km race), sun-set (for the 100km race) and a second sunrise for the 160km. Great food and drink, will be waiting for all of our hungry finishers no matter when they arrive!
All four MMU races start at Camp Fortune at 10:00pm. We can’t tell you what happens after that – you’ll have to enter in order to experience the Midnight Moose for yourself! We will say that none of the distances are for the faint of heart – each is designed to challenge, in its own way, even the toughest of trail runners. Add in the night factor and the Midnight Moose is one tough trail race that will leave participants both exhausted and exhilarated when they cross the finish line back at Camp Fortune many hours later!
The Midnight Moose Ultra is about having some fun and experiencing the Gatineau Park at night. But fun also means being safe. As such, we expect all of our participants who register for the 100km and 160km races to have the training and confidence necessary to complete a race of this magnitude. A race doctor will be on course to monitor participants’ progress for all races, and there will be a time limit of 24 hours for the 100km race and 36 hours for the 160km race. Checkpoints for all races will be placed at about 8-12 km intervals, and will provide water and first aid. Participants are responsible for their own in-race nutrition.
As with all 3beavers racing events, super cool swag will be provided to each participant, including an amazing limited-edition Midnight Moose Hoodie for those brave enough to enter the 100km and 160km races, with a special belt buckle for all 160km finishers!
